Late, sometime before midnight
He comes creeping up
And before you get him sussed
He's gone before dusk

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

And when you arise
Red ruby rings circle your eyes
If it's later than you realized
Check with the stars and the skies

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
