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
Hidden 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
