There's a shadow hanging over the valley
Total eclipse of the moon
Closing up the gates of the city
The wind, it plays a wild tune

Don't you put the lock on the window
Don't you put the bar on the door
Don't you cry for the rain in the sky
You've seen the storm before

Yeah now, what's the matter with you baby
Baby, what's the matter now
What's the matter you're running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man howl

C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby, what's the matter now
What's the matter, you're running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man howl

[Guitar solo]

Then a lightning gonna strike at midnight
Thunder gonna shake the ground
Don't you flinch, don't give an inch
Just-a let the flood calm down
C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby, what's the matter now
Tell me what's the matter, you're running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man howl

C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby, what's the matter now
What's the matter, you're running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man howl
