- Bad Moon Rising
I see a bad moon rising - I see trouble on the way I see earth quakes and lightning - I see bad times today Don`t go around tonight - well it`s bound to take your life There`s a bad moon on the rise 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 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 ...
