September

Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la la, la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la la, 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 at his place
 She kept the lights low
 To avoid his face
 He grabbed her arm a little too hard
 And was rough when she pulled away
 She started running for the stairs
 He thought it was all a game
 She'd rather die, then 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 hammer back
 And put one into his chest
 And watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest
 She thought it best, she sang
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la la, la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la la, la la la
 She turned off all the lights and the stereo
 She sat in the morning breeze
 And watched the sun grow on the city below
 She sang Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la, la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la, la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la, la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 Ha la la la la la la la
 What was the name she gave herself?
 They called her September
