[Verse 1]
Under the raging sun's open fire, fire, fire
Ain't nothin' new, ain't nothin' new
We all have desires
I want you to be my woman, babe
Every time you get dressed in black
You give a grown man a heart attack
I pray that good Lord will bring you back
Like the sunshine

[Chorus]
Shoot me down and break my heart
It's the black moon rising (Oh)
You brave the sight, I paint the picture
Of the black moon rising, cruise (Oh)
All she wants to do is cruise
Right on, right on, baby, yeah
I ain't got nothing to do now
With the black moon rising
Cruise (Oh)

[Verse 2]
What's going on?
Same ol' thing, just a different season
One hundred years and the only time she gets dressed in black
Taking flight, baby, count you down
On your way off without a sound
Black moon rising above the clouds
Like the sunshine
[Chorus]
Shoot me down and break my heart
It's the black moon rising
(Black moon rising, black moon rising) (Oh)
You brave the sight, I paint the picture
Of the black moon rising, cruise (Oh)
All she wants to do is cruise
Right on, right on, baby
And I ain't got nothing to do now (Right, right on, baby)
With the black moon rising, cruise (Right; oh)

[Break]
See that black moon rise, rise

[Outro]
Shoot me down and break my heart
It's the black moon rising
(Black moon rising, black moon rising) (Oh)
You brave the sight, I paint the picture
Of the black moon rising, cruise (Oh)
All she wants to do is cruise, I'm cruising
Right on, right on, baby
And I ain't got nothing to do now (Right, right on, baby)
With the black moon rising, cruise (Right; oh)
