Lyrics Duran Duran

Duran Duran

Secret Oktober

Wise on a birthday party

In a world full of surprising fireworks

And sudden silence

Lying on a stranger's bed

A 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

You 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 never 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 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
