Mean Monsoon Lyrics

The summer sun has got me crazy
Playing tricks with my poor mind
You said you had another man
And I said I guess I didn't mind

What's he got that I ain't got
Besides stability
Can he drive all night and never stop
Well I guess you'll have to wait and see

(Chorus)
I heard a voice, call to me
Saying someday you're gonna be free

Put a dollar in the jukebox
But don't you play our favorite tune
'Cause seeing you dance to that
Is only gonna bring me to ruin

Someday sunny sounds will soothe me
But it won't happen soon
'Cause the cloud you left hanging over
Is raining like a mean monsoon

(Chorus repeat)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

wow. first, i can't believe i'm the first to comment on this song... i love the song SO much. it's my favorite from the cd. i love the song - he sounds bitter and jealous after finding out that his girl has gotten with someone else... maybe she left him? but he's trying to tell her - he's not better than me ('what's he got that i ain't got? besides stability? can he drive all night and never stop? well i guess you'll have to wait and see') - but he knows, one day, he'll get over it... but that won't be anytime soon. the line that i quoted - my most favorite line from any song.

as a recommendation - if you ever get the chance... see him (and the fast five) in concert. they are AMAZING.
