third world service

Singer:manfred mann's earth band

crisis in the night

no lighting in the ballroom

voices come and go

talking michaelangelo

down in the forest

the insect kindom gathers

pictures getting restles

trouble in the night. waiting for the moonsoon

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 justo to hot to. waiting for the moonson

no lighting in the ballroom

blood flecked voices

distortion and gain

static interference

short wave rain

and there's not repetition of signal chime

feeble reception

couldn't get the meantime. waiting for the moonson

no lighting in the ballroom

waiting for the moonson

no lighting in the ballroom
