September Lyrics

La, la, la...

What was the name she gave herself?
They called her September.
She wasn't known for much except
Her legs and her temper.
He had enough money to get a date back in his place

She kept the lights low to avoid his face
He grabbed her arm a little too hard
He was rough when she pulled away
She started running for the stairs
He thought it was all a game

She'd rather die than be abused again
She broke his grip high now on adrenaline
She pulled a pistol from her purse,
Screamed the party was over.
Not the brightest man in the world

He reached for the revolver
She cocked the handle back and put one into his chest
And watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest
She thought it best,
She turned off all the lights and stereo

She sat in the morning breeze and watched the sun glow on the city below
She sang, "La-la-la...."
What was the name she gave herself
They called her September.
