Lyrics Secret Oktober - Duran Duran

Secret Oktober

Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Sh…
Lies on a stranger’s bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never 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
Could 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 plain
And tomorrow you’ll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you’ll wonder
