They're playing in Central Park

Check out him, 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



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
