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
