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 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 missin' my mama, so I 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 Oh, woah, oh And as I go back home to Memphis I remember days that I I was outside shootin' rockets Almost as high, high In your October In your October In your October In your October In your October sky
