[Verse 1]
I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earth quakes and lightning
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
Don't go around tonight
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]
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
