October Sky

Well, she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled
"Come outside
No no no, nothing's 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
La-da-da-da-di-da-da

Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down, down
You could cut the pollution with a butter knife
You could wake up at two and then party all night
But I'm missing my mama 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-da-da-di-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, oh

And 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
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
