October

Halloween is signal I received in France
watching all the traffic going by
your hair is done in sequins you wear leather pants
soldiers at the crossroads wave goodbye

chorus:
it's already over in October
already Christmas every year
it's always good to sing when you are sober
it's always good to wipe away the tears
sometimes I think we'll all go up in smoke

on the words that sound so violently sincere
chorus
there was a woman wore my ring upon her hand
warning me to judge the way I feel
right on surface of everything I planned
she cut to deep to ever really heal

(chorus)

I see you I'll nod to some passing face of God
who never really answer me at prayer
the savior is quite odd he prefers the prod
his kingdom is near but the thin air
