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
