Secret Oktober - Duran Duran

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
