[Verse 1]
I see a bad moon rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today

[Chorus]
Now don't go around tonight
For 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 the river's overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

[Chorus]
Now don't go around tonight
For it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

[Guitar and Piano Solos]

[Verse 3]
I 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
[Chorus]
Now don't go around tonight
For it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

[Chorus]
Yeah, don't go around tonight
For it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
