They're playing in Central Park
Check him out, he's shouting at the gate
"Billy didn't tell you everything
or did he mention the magic day?"
Well I figured it out from a fig tree
It's that they chose to be together in silk
Now you been bad for 50 years
and now it looks like that he's taking off his belt
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
He's coming down but he's not alone
He's gonna bring an army of saints
and he's taking all his back home
and then destroying what remains
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning
to be wings
to be wings
Hoping that the end
will start it all again
(Guitar solo here)
And that's when numeral history will die
I said that's what's so right about the day
Cause it all ends in 1999
and commences on the 28th, the 28th, the 28th
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
Waiting for October
I cross my fingers
cross my heart
and hope to die
Waiting for October
I'm in the book
and I'll be learning how to fly
