October Company Lyrics

Been on the run
Into the October night
One step ahead of the man
Who's gonna take my life
A pocket full of fool's gold
A mind full of the same
This is the prize we get
This is the price to play this game
And the singing man
Has finally closed his eyes
It seems the silence
Has taken him by surprise
Over the years
He sees the song he's ignored
And the mountains
That he's moved with his words

And as we count off the days
We watch them slip away
It's just such an honest mistake
Being young and being brave
We'll take the cross
We'll take the nails
We'll die young we'll die as one
We'll die strong we'll die young
We'll die for us we'll die for us
We'll die in love

I got a fire burning in my soul tonight
Come on babe I got the keys let's take a drive
We'll hit the road and set the pace
Like we own the night
I've got the cross you've got the nails
Let's do this right

Just turn your head
You're blind to the next kill
God'll touch you and he'll love you
He won't judge you the way I will
You sin your heart of stone's
The way to draw the flies
The devil in disguise come on
And sleep with me tonight
And the singing man
Has finally closed his mouth
He's run out of
Feelings to feel now
His heart weighs his body
Down to the ground
He's lost his nerve
To take the final bow

And as he counts off the days
Watches them slip away
It's just such an honest mistake
Being young and being brave
We'll take the cross
We'll take the nails
We'll die young we'll die as one
We'll die strong we'll die young
We'll die for us we'll die for us
We'll die in love

I got a fire burning in my soul tonight
Come on babe I got the keys let's take a drive
We'll hit the road and set the pace
Like we own the night
I've got the cross you've got the nails
Let's do this right
