[Verse 1]
I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
[Chorus]
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
[Verse 2]
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
[Chorus]
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Alright
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
[Chorus]
Well, don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
