(verso 1)
There's a shadow hanging over the valley
Total eclipse of the moon
Closing up the gates of the city
The wind plays a wild tune
(verso 2)
Don't you put the lock upon the window
Don't you put the bar on the door
Don't you cry for the rain in the sky
You've seen the storm before
(intro)
Well, what's the matter with you baby
Baby, what's the matter now
Tell me what's the matter your running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man howl
(refrão)
Lightning gonna strike at midnight
Thunder gonna shake the ground
Don't you flinch don't give an inch
Just let the flood come down
(Repeat Chorus twice, then intro.)
