Lyrics
Old Moon Madness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Late, sometime before midnight
He comes creeping up
And before you get him sussed
He's gone before dusk
And when you arise
Red ruby rings circle your eyes
If it's later than you realized
Check with the stars and the skies
Old moon madness has struck again
A howl in the dark light
A flash of teeth bright white
A scream and a bite
Old moon madness has struck again tonight
But there's no need to worry
For the crimes that you've done
Worse has been committed
With no moon madness to blame it on
Old moon madness has struck again
In fact you could say you're lucky
You and me
Mother Earth has only one moon
And not three
