I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin'. I see those 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 over flowing. I hear the voice of rage and ruin. Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. 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. Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. Don't come around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.
