[Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Third World Service lyrics]
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
Finger in the sky they're
Jamming all the airwaves
Searching for the traitor that
Blew the generator
Oh, Mother – couldn't find a candle
Man, this station's just too hot to
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
Blood flecked voices, distortion and gain
Static interference, short wave rain
And there's hot repetition of signals chime
But the feeble reception couldn't
Get the meantime
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting 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 lighting in the ballroom
Blood flecked voices, distortion and gain
Static interference, short wave rain
And there's hot repetition of signals chime
But the feeble reception couldn't
Get the meantime
Sung simultaneously:
Finger in the sky they're
Jamming all the airwaves
Searching for the traitor that
Blew the generator
Oh, Mother – couldn't find a candle
Man, this station's just too hot to
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
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
Finger in the sky they're
Jamming all the airwaves
Searching for the traitor that
Blew the generator
Oh, Mother – couldn't find a candle
Man, this station's just too hot to
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
Blood flecked voices, distortion and gain
Static interference, short wave rain
And there's hot repetition of signals chime
But the feeble reception couldn't
Get the meantime
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting 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 lighting in the ballroom
Blood flecked voices, distortion and gain
Static interference, short wave rain
And there's hot repetition of signals chime
But the feeble reception couldn't
Get the meantime
Sung simultaneously:
Finger in the sky they're
Jamming all the airwaves
Searching for the traitor that
Blew the generator
Oh, Mother – couldn't find a candle
Man, this station's just too hot to
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
Waiting for the monsoon
No lighting in the ballroom
