There's a shadow hanging over the valley
A total eclipse of the moon
Closing up the gates of the city
The wind it plays a wild tune
Don't you put a lock on your window
Don't you put the bar on your door
Don't you cry for the rain in the sky
You've seen the storm before

Yea now what's the matter with you baby
Baby what's the matter now
What's the matter your running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man yell
Come on tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby what's the matter now
What's the matter your running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man yell

Now lightnings going to strike at midnight
Thunder going to shake the ground
Don't you flinch don't give a inch
Just a let the flood come down

Come on tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby what's the matter now
What's the matter your running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wild man yell
Come on tell me what's the matter with you baby
Baby what's the matter now
What's the matter your running in the shadows
Every time you hear the wildman yell
