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
