OCTOBER MAN

Do you think that you could catch the sky
Will you just ignore one more July
Read your trusty Orwell books
And wear that musty coat of fallen leaves
Winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man

Hey there, October Man
Winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man
Hey there, October Man
April won’t receive you, October Man

The field is steaming, the jasmine withers there
String together bits of chilly air
Light the fire, the flames will climb
Gather deadwood like so much time
Oh, winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man

Hey there, October Man
Winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man
Hey there, October Man
April won’t receive you, October Man

Who loves you
Who shows you
Who sees you
Who knows you

Read your trusty Orwell books
And wear that musty coat of fallen leaves
Winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man

Hey there, October Man
Winter’s gonna freeze you, October Man
Hey there, October Man
April won’t receive you, October Man
