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
