	Story Behind the Song Of all the songs I've written, this is one that I'd especially like to let you decide what it means. What is significant about it is that it broke a long dry spell, and since I wrote it (at the end of 2001) I've been writing much more. Lyrics Miss September takes off her clothes And she walks into a world where No one knows her Miss September says she's fine And she'll stop, and wonder When she has the time She's a demon on heels Sharp enough to divide All the haters and lovers On this pinwheel ride In the midst of the masses, She's a murderous flame Throw down all your defenses And scream out her name Miss September, her wounded pride It just won't let her sit back And enjoy the ride Miss September is on a mission And she will accept Nothing but her final conditions She says surrender to me Everything that you are For I know you are guilty It's a matter of my law In the final conclusion We'll be dust all the same And she will dance in our ashes 'Till they spell out her name Miss September Miss September steps aside And she tells her minions To take on the tide Miss September counts the days As she whispers to me In insidious ways Go and hide in your houses Send your children to war She will be there behind you Helping settle the score And if she calls you a traitor It will come to be true If they ask for your plea, Just tell them you knew Miss September takes off her clothes And she walks into a world where No one knows her
