The monsoon is upon us again The monsoon is upon us again Year in, year out You're in, you're out You win, you doubt You lose, you cry about Your loves, your hates The nerves you agitate For whom, for what For nothing at all The sooner you learn The better you fall Change is within us all While the waves of reason They roll in and roll out They rise and they fall And they outlive us all While the moon and the sun and the universe won The tides roll away 'til we're all old and grey To our great dismay When our children's future generations die away Down to the very last one While the waves of reason They roll in and roll out and ever shall be While the rain washes away That feeling again The very inkling of pain When it drains you out Into the gutter you'll go All your skeletons and all found ten kilometres Down south At the mouth of the river Kallang River Sure it washes away but it never really leaves you It's just a little duller now Roll in and roll out Roll in and roll out and ever shall be
