I see a bad moon rising
I see troubles on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end it's coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Hope you got your things together
Hope you're quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
