[Verse 1]
I've sung some songs that were lame
I've slept with girls on the game
I've got my Catholic shame
Lord I'm in purgatory
Basically, it's all come on top for me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wasn't me when we met
You haven't lost my respect
I'm here to serve and protect
What shape of insanity
Keeps leading you back to me

[Chorus]
So put your hands across the water
Oh, mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna piss on your parade
I'm here to make money and get laid
Yeah, I'm a star but I'll fade
If you ain't sticking your knives in me
You will be eventually
To all you Sharons and Michelles
With all your tales to sell
Save your meat money well
I'm glad that spending a night with me
Guaranteed you celebrity

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I can't talk in a crowd
When I'm alone I'm too loud
You've done your daddies proud
Thank you for keeping me company
You've all been so nice to me

[Chorus]
So put your hands across the water
Oh, mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon

[Bridge]
Oh Lord, I feel nothing
I know much smarter men never got this far

[Verse 3]
I've got so many regrets
I smoked too many cigarettes
I've had more blondes than brunettes
I'm not expecting your sympathy
But it's all been too much for me

[Chorus]
So put your hands across the water
Oh, mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon
So put your hands across the water
Oh, mushroom
Monsoon
Come soon
