LYRICS

I wait till midnight
I can feel a cold breeze
A box of moonlight
A silhouette of palm trees
With one foot in a grave
Beware of what I crave
My loneliness is the only bitch that holds me

No use in thinking 'bout it
Don't need a reason
The moon is changing me out
My heart is beating
You better run away
Before it gets too late
Black sunsets on the sky
And I'm thinking

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone home?
Hope you're awake for the nightmare
Hope you stay for the show

You know how it is
When you're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
You know how it is
'Cause we're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
Just let the bad moon do it
Bad moon do it
Bad moon do it (Bad moon do it)
You know how it is
'Cause I'm just waiting on that bad-bad moon tonight

So take my hand now
I'll welcome you to my bad dream
Up in the clouds now
That bad moon comes and it grabs me
I see the city below
This city is my soul
And when it takes control it's got me thinking these bad things

So let's not talk about it
I know the deal's done
There ain't no getting 'round this
Your ship is sinking
Get to your knees and pray
Blue skies, they turn to grey
Black sunsets in your eyes
Am I dreaming?

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone home?
Hope you're awake for the nightmare
Hope you stay for the show

You know how it is
When you're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
You know how it is
'Cause we're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
Just let the bad moon do it
Bad moon do it
Bad moon do it (Bad moon do it)
You know how it is
'Cause I'm just waiting on that bad-bad moon tonight

Tonight, tonight (ha-ha-ha)

Blacked out streets
Looking like a wolf
Bad moon up, need to check my pulse
Creep in the woods
And I got you shook
Eyes locked in, gonna get you hooked
You no look past
Coming up real fast
Sip at the flask, and I hit that gas
No time to crash
Gotta make it last
Wake up inside a cold black mask
Got gold fangs
I'm with my kin
No silver chain, it burns my skin
Hitting those threes
I was born to win
Pop from the trees, and I give you a grin
Check out the hairs
It grown on my skin
That's just a beast calling within
Blood stains on my fresh white Nikes
Oh my God, what the fuck did I do last night?

You know how it is
When you're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
You know how it is
'Cause we're just waiting on that bad-bad moon to rise
Just let the bad moon do it
Bad moon do it
Bad moon do it (Bad moon do it)
You know how it is
'Cause I'm just waiting on that bad-bad moon tonight

Tonight, tonight
