Waiting for October

They're playing in Central Park

Chai Chong Lim is shouting at the gate

Billy didn't tell you everything

Or did he mention the magic date

Well I figured it out from a fig tree

It's the chosen fruit of the devil himself

Now you've been bad for 50 years

And now it looks like Daddy's taking off his belt

Waiting for October

I cross my fingers

Cross my heart

And [I] 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 brides home

And then destroying what remains

Waiting for October

I cross my fingers

Cross my heart

And [I] hope to die

Waiting for October

I'm in the book

And I'll be learning

To be waiting

To be waiting

Hoping that the end

Will start it all again

And that's when human history will die

I said Nelson he was so right about the date

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 [I] 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 [I] hope to die

Waiting for October

I'm in the books

And I'll be learning how to fly

Hopin' that the end

Will start it all again
