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 storm      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 seen the storm before      Well, what's the matter with you baby   Baby, what's the matter now   Tell me what's the matter you running in the shadows   Every time you hear the wild man howl      C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby   Baby, what's the matter now   What's the matter now you running in the shadows   Every time you hear the wild man howl      Lightning gonna strike at midnight   Thunder gonna shake it around   Don't you flinch don't give an inch   Just a-let the flood come down      C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby   Baby, what's the matter now   What's the matter now you running in the shadows   Every time you hear the wild man howl      C'mon, tell me what's the matter with you baby   Baby, what's the matter now   What's the matter now you running in the shadows   Every time you hear the wild man howl
