October Sky

Well she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled

Come outside

No no no, nothings wrong

I just happen to have a surprise

So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves

And I wrestled my brother down to his knees

Just to watch as her rocket shot into the

October sky

There's a picture of us

In a layer of dust

On the mantle

Right by my cigarettes that I smoke

Since you left

'Cause you said you had to fly

In your October sky

Lada di da da da di

Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd

And the people grieve with me since the towers came down

You could cut the pollution with a butterknife

You could wake up at 2 and then party all night

But I'm missing my momma

So I'll stand on the street and get high

There's a picture of us

In a layer of dust

On the mantle

Right by my cigarettes that I smoke

Since you left

'Cause you said you had to fly

In your October sky

La da di da da da di

La da di da da da di

As I go back home to memphis

I remember days that I

I was outside shooting rockets

Almost as high

In your October

In your October

In your October

In your October

In your October sky

La da di da da da di
