Waiting For October

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
