one night in october

oh language is dead

so she believes

i'm looking up

socially bereaved

just like carlisle

she lies on the border

disorder surrounds

her every noun

one night in october

the clocks go back

and she attacks me oh

grabbing my left shoulder

suspects in texts that leave her wrecked uh-oh

one night in october

so i sit her down

and say this must top

'cause all we do

is argue and shop

she goes to boots

i go to argos

complete with deceit

we stalk each aisle

one night in october

she throws a towel

the sink a scowl uh-oh

one night in october

with more invective

than the average detective

questions me on the lawn

with doors ajar

tonight i will sleep in my car

one night in october

oh intensive care

intensively she's aware

that i

i miss the heat

solace and sway of the sheets

oh this dashboard's so hard

can't cushion the beats of my heart

one night in october

uh-oh

one night in october

the clocks go back

and she attacks me oh

grabbing my left shoulder

with more invective

than the average detective

questions me on the lawn

with doors ajar

tonight i might sleep in the car

one night in october
