Secret Oktober

[Verse 1] Wise on a birthday party In a world full of surprising fireworks And sudden silence Shh Lies on a stranger's bed The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend Never expected, but never knocking Holding your own in a battered car All-night parties, cocktail bars and smile When the butterfly escapes the killing jar [Chorus] Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over Wise or naked in secret Oktober [Verse 2] Free fall on a windy morning shore Nothing but a fading track of footsteps Could prove that you'd ever been there Spoken on a cotton cloud Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind And lost in distant thunder Racing on a shining plain And tomorrow, you'll be content to watch As the lightning plays along the wires, and you'll wonder [Chorus] Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over Wise or naked in secret Oktober Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over Wise or naked in secret Oktober
