Bad Moon Rising Lyrics by Rolf Harris

Can You Tell What It Is Yet?

0

[Verse 1]
I hear a bad moon a-risin'
I see troubles on the way
I see the earthquake and lightnin'
I see bad times today

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

[Verse 2]
I hear hurricanes a blowin'
And 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
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

[Verse 3]
I hope you got your things together
I 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
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

Don't go around tonight
It's bound [*crashing noise*]

(Spoken:) Ah, look - I told him not to go out...
