The self-titled debut album was finally released in 1987, and, by that time, Richie Scarlet had been replaced by Tod Howarth. Spawing the top 30 rock hit "Into The Night", that successful album was followed by the live EP 'Live +1' and later by the full length studio album 'Second Sighting' in 1988. Anton Fig had a full-time gig with the Late Night with David Letterman studio band, and he had been replaced by Jamie Oldaker on drums.
In 1989, the album 'Trouble Walkin'' was released. This album was released as a solo album by Ace Frehley because of the change to a rougher sound and music style. Still. the band behind the release was the original line-up of Frehley's Comet. At any rate, Frehley's Comet as a band was no more.
Words Are Not Enough
Frehley's Comet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It gets harder each day, fighting with this feeling inside
You can swear that you love me
By every star in the sky
But when you're close to me
You get that look in you eye
A burning feeling, you just can't disguise
[Chorus]
Words are not enough, to make me feel like a man in love
Words are not enough, to make me feel like a man in love
We need each other its easy to see
You know I'm shaking all over thinking how good this could be
You can tell me you need me
And you can tell me you're mine
But when you're in my arms
The words starts spinning and we lose all track of time
[Chorus]
In "Words Are Not Enough," Frehley's Comet sings about the limitations of words in expressing love, desire, and passion. The singer is in a complicated emotional situation, unable to resist his feelings for someone who may not reciprocate his affections. Despite the declarations of love and commitment, the singer knows that words are not enough to convey the intensity of his emotions. he is tossing and turning at night, struggling to contain the burning feeling inside him. Even though his partner can swear that she loves him and needs him, he can sense a hesitation or reluctance in her eyes when she's close to him. It's as if she's trying to hide something or hold back something that can't be expressed in words.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of the song, as the singer repeats that words are not enough to make him feel like a man in love. This suggests that he needs more than just words to feel fulfilled and satisfied in his relationship. The need for physical and emotional connection, the shared experience of being together, is what truly matters to him. The bridge hints at the potential for a deeper connection, as the singer acknowledges that they need each other and imagines how good it could be. However, the song ends on an uncertain note, as the spinning words and lost track of time could signify either a moment of transcendence or a fleeting escape from reality.

The words start spinning and we lose all track of time
Our verbal communication becomes somewhat erratic and we are unable to pay attention to the flow of time.
