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
She wasn't known for much except
Her legs and her temper
He had enough money to get a date back in his place
She kept the lights low to avoid his face
He grabbed her arm a little too hard
He was rough when she pulled away
She started running for the stairs
He thought it was all a game
She'd rather die than 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 c***ed the handle back and put one into his chest
And watched him fall down the stairs to his final rest
She thought it best, she sang,
[Refrain] x2
She turned off all the lights and stereo
She sat in the morning breeze and watched the sun glow
On the city below, she sang,
[Refrain] x4
What was the name she gave herself?
They called her September.
