They're playing in Central Park
A E D E
Check him out, he's shouting at the gate
A E D E
"Billy didn't tell you everything
A E D E
or did he mention the magic day?"
A E D E
Well I figured it out from a fig tree
A E D E
It's that they chose to be together in silk

Now you been bad for 50 years
A E D E
and now it looks like that he's taking off his belt

and hope to die
D E A
Waiting for October
D E A

He's coming down but he's not alone
A E D E
He's gonna bring an army of saints
A E D E
and he's taking all his back home
A E D E
and then destroying what remains
D E A
Waiting for October
D E A
I cross my fingers
D E A
cross my heart
D E A
and hope to die
D E A
Waiting for October
D E A

D E A
and I'll be learning

to be wings
D E A
to be wings

and commences on the 28th, the 28th, the 28th

cross my heart
D E A
and hope to die
D E A
Waiting for October
