[00:23.500]Following a signal I received in France
[00:29.190]Watching all the traffic going by
[00:35.180]Your hair is done in sequins
[00:37.750]You wear leather pants
[00:40.670]Soldiers at the crossroads wave goodbye
[00:46.110]
[00:46.720]And it's already over in October
[00:52.610]Already Christmas every year
[00:58.420]It's always good to sing when you are sober
[01:04.150]It's always good to wipe away a tear
[01:10.240]
[01:10.590]Sometimes I think we'll all go up in smoke
[01:16.270]Owing that the passage is not clear
[01:22.170]There is a man who probably will choke
[01:27.820]On the words that sound so violently sincere
[01:33.160]
[01:33.570]And it's already over in October
[01:40.150]Already Christmas every year
[01:45.850]It's always good to sing when you are sober
[01:51.680]Always good to wipe away the tears
[01:58.030]
[01:58.320]There was a woman who wore my ring upon her hand
[02:04.120]Warning me to judge the way I feel
[02:10.150]Right on the surface of everything I'd planned
[02:16.160]She cut too deep to ever really heal
[02:20.500]
[02:21.810]And it's already over in October
[02:28.310]Already Christmas every year
[02:34.040]And it's always good to sing when you are sober
[02:40.440]It's always good to wipe away the tears
[02:46.220]
[02:46.510]If I see you, I'll nod to some passing face of God
[02:52.410]Who never really answered me at prayer
[02:58.420]The Savior is quite odd, he prefers the prod
[03:04.500]His kingdom is made out of thin air
[03:09.780]
[03:10.240]And it's already over in October
[03:16.790]Already Christmas every year
[03:22.630]It's always good to sing when you are sober
[03:28.720]It's always good to wipe away the tears
