Waiting for October (Lyric) by wilco Checking all the locks
to make sure youâre alone.
Making no mistakes;
The ghosts are free to roam.
Staring at the sun.
Hoping youâll go blind.
Taking all their drugs;
Hoping they donât mind.
Shattered safety glass
wonât cut like red balloons.
Ensuring less appeal
and praying in your room.
When she waits, she waits alone.
Pretty purple pills
Waiting for their scene
Time to celebrate
The flowers been washed clean.
Whatâs the matter dear?
Sheâs waiting in the hall.
Eyes are open wide
and waiting for the call.
The ghosts are coming through
Through broken veins they weave.
Open wounds and wine;
and now theyâll never leave.
When she waits, she waits alone.
Up the ladder:
Billy and the voices
Down the ladder:
Death by rabbit

A sad wait indeed. For what? Seems like it needs to say what she's waiting for.
She's waiting for October. I'd love to hear what you think it's about.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
The Paris-Deauville Antique Automobile Race. The 'Head of the Charles' Regatta. The World Series. Simon Cowell's 'Incredibly Gay' Birthday Party.
Mmm, sorry no. Good guesses though, Z. How's the land of sand, btw?
It's a rock desert, and simply awful. The good news is I can now speak Arabic Jive, which is dirtier than anything you can imagine.
Have you ever seen that movie about the red balloon I don't remember what it's called but it almost makes ya want to cry at parts?
Haven't seen it. Sorry. If I watch it will you vot on the poem though? '0)
Ok, yeah, watch it and I'll vote.
Here's the info: The Red Balloon (1956) about it: "The late French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse made this classic, 1956 short work about a lonely little Parisian boy (Pascal Lamorisse) befriended by a large red balloon, which seems to have a will of its own. As with his preceding short, 1952's White Mane, Lamorisse took home a grand prize from the Cannes Film Festival for The Red Balloon, and the latter film also won an Academy Award. There have been some stimulating pieces of film criticism (some pro, some con) written about the aesthetics of this little movie over the years, but there's no question it makes for a touching, allegorical piece always certain to prompt conversations among viewers of any age." --Tom Keogh 397 view(s)
