October Teen

If I listened to the song I sung
In the year of 1991
I would not be sitting here
In this hard and awkward chair
Singing yet another one
So the year has brought you to your knees
But it's over now, so get up please
Do you remember it
When you were just a kid
It's over now so get up please
October teen how you been sleepin'
You ask me
Not at all
I got footsteps in the hall
I been thinkin' about giving you a call
So the foghorn moans like a broken bone
Your nightgown hangs like a broken home
The man buys you a drink
Your painted eyelids sink
I drag the wind back to my stone
October teen how you been sleepin'
You ask me
Not at all
I got footsteps in the hall
I been thinkin' about giving you a call
So you listen to the Royal trucks at dawn
You name your baby Grandpa
Your mind feels wonderful
You take another pull
If your mind don't hurt I guess it's gone
October teen how you been sleepin'
You ask me
Not at all
I got footsteps in the hall
I been thinkin' about giving you a call
