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
