Third World Service - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

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

Waiting for the monsoon

No lightning in the ballroom
