I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight
‘Cause it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is comin’ soon
I fear rivers over-flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't go around tonight
‘Cause it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you have 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

And don't go around tonight
‘Cause it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight,
‘Cause it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
There's a bad moon on the rise
