Lyrics Secret Oktober - 2010 Remastered Version - Duran Duran

Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
Sudden silence (shh)

Lies on a stranger's bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train on an old friend
Ever 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
Tomorrow you'll 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
