Duran Duran - Secret Oktober lyrics

Full of surprising fireworks and sudden silence. (shh)

Lies on a stranger's bed the new day breaks, like a speeding train

Or an old friend ever expected, but never knocking..

Holding your own in a battered car,

All night parties cocktail bars -

And smile when the butterfly escapes the killing jar

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over

Wise or naked in Secret Oktober

Freefall on a windy morning shore,

Nothing but a fading track of footsteps,

To prove that you'd ever been there.

Spoken on a cotton cloud like the sound of gunshot -

Taken by the wind, and lost in distant thunder.

Racing on a shining plane -

Tomorrow you won't be content to watch as the lightning plays -

Along the wires, and you'll wonder...

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over

Wise or naked in Secret Oktober

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over

Wise or naked in Secret Oktober
