October

Following a 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 And 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 a tear Sometimes I think we'll all go up in smoke Owing that the passage is not clear There is a man who probably will choke On the words that sound so violently sincere And it's already over in October Already Christmas every year It's always good to sing when you are sober Always good to wipe away the tears There was a woman who wore my ring upon her hand Warning me to judge the way I feel Right on the surface of everything I'd planned She cut too deep to ever really heal And it's already over in October Already Christmas every year And it's always good to sing when you are sober It's always good to wipe away the tears If I see you, I'll nod to some passing face of God Who never really answered me at prayer The Savior is quite odd, he prefers the prod His kingdom is made out of thin air And 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
