October

[Verse 1]
I swear there's something going on across the street
My neighbor's actin' just a little too discrete, yeah
He's takin' trash out in the middle of the night
But when I see him in the day he's so polite
Every mornin' he waves as I leave the door
But I see him buyin' bleach at the grocery store, yeah
He's the founder of the whole neighborhood watch
And every week they meet up for a glass of scotch

[Pre-Chorus]
Who'd suspect a guy who
Always wears a smile with his tie
They all believe a guy who
Is truly a delight, Mr. Right, oh

[Chorus]
Close the windows, lock the door
It's late at night and I hear footsteps on the floor
Blood is freezin' in my limbs
Well, is it real or is it just October things?

[Verse 2]
He never talks about his past, they say he's coy
I could just shrug it off, I'm bein' paranoid, yeah
Women come over 'cause he doesn't have a spouse
But oddly no one ever sees them leave his house

[Pre-Chorus]
Who'd suspect a guy who
Always wears a smile with his tie
They all believe a guy who
Is truly a delight, Mr. Right, oh

[Chorus]
Close the windows, lock the door
It's late at night and I hear footsteps on the floor
Blood is freezin' in my limbs
Well, is it real or is it just October things?

[Bridge]
Maybe I've been watchin' too much TV
Maybe I should let him have privacy
Or maybe I'm the only one who can see
Our street's the scene of a thriller mystery

[Chorus]
Close the (Close the) windows (Windows), lock the (Lock the) door
It's late at night and I hear footsteps on the floor (Yeah)
Blood is freezin' in my limbs
Well, is it real or is it just October things?
