November

November
oh November
comes before
right before december
a place and time
where we dismember
a turkey
like a pheasant
it is pleasant
November
you're there for me
in december
you're nowhere to be
oh november
you care for me


October
is not november
not close to december
or the end of the year
it's something I fear
a time when you're not near
oh that's what I fear
oh november
be nearer to december
be nearer to the end
come closer
be my friend

November
oh November
comes before
right before december
a place and time
where we dismember
a turkey
like a pheasant
it is pleasant

Paint a face
red and white
stay up with me late at night
tell me it's all alright
and I'll tell you to sail
will go far away
where no one can tell
we'll paint clouds on the sky
and wish we'd never die
and make sure I don't cry
I'll wander for a while
in a world without denial
in this place
I know I'll trace
a smile on your face

November
is like september
but unlike october
we dismember
and lose our limbs
we lose our time
we lose our friends
we lose our minds
close to the end
close to december
oh november

November
oh November
comes before
right before december
a place and time
where we dismember
a turkey
like a pheasant
it is pleasant

November
oh November
comes before
right before december
a place and time
where we dismember
a turkey
like a pheasant
it is pleasant
