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
