Waiting for the monsoon, for the monsoon, the monsoon
Waiting for the monsoon, for the monsoon, the monsoon
Waiting for the monsoon, for the monsoon, the monsoon
Crisis in the night
No lighting in the ballroom
Voices come and go Talking Michaelangelo
Down in the forest
The insect Kingdom gathers
Pictures getting restless
Trouble in the night
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
(1) Finger in the sky
(1) They’re jamming all the airwaves
(1) Searching for the traitor
(1) That blew the generator
(1) Oh, Mother — couldn’t find a candle
(1) Man, this station’s just too hot to (handle)
Waiting for the monsoon
No lightning in the ballroom
Waiting for the monsoon
No lightning in the ballroom
(2) Blood flecked voices
(2) Distortion and gain
(2) Static interference, short wave rain
(2) And there’s hot repetition of signals chime
(2) But the feeble reception couldn’t get the meantime
Waiting for the monsoon
No lightning in the ballroom
Crisis in the night
No lighting in the ballroom
Voices come and go Talking Michaelangelo
Down in the forest
The insect Kingdom gathers
Pictures getting restless
Trouble in the night
Waiting for the monsoon
No lightning in the ballroom
Waiting for the monsoon
No lightning in the ballroom
