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 smoked 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
