[Verse 1]
I see the bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
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-blowin'
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

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

[Verse 3]
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
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
