[Verse 1]
Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Shh
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

[Chorus]
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

[Verse 2]
Free fall 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
[Chorus]
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
