Caught in the middle of a moonbeam, oh a flicker of light   I took a look and then it run away, back on into the night   Oh, stopped, stopped tickin' of my heartbeat, a look in his eye   Had the hunger of a mountain lion and the thunder in fire      And every time he appears it comes as a surprise   And he thinks he's clever as fox fire dancin' on a distant rise   Then when I catch that devil, ooh, there gonna be a slow down   There gonna be a mighty slow down, yeah      Caught in the embers of my night fire, in the cracklin' and glow   I get the feeling he's a-watching me somewhere there in the cold      And one of these days I'm thinking I'll take him by surprise   He's not so clever as fox fire, dancing on a distant rise   And when I catch that devil, there gonna be a slow down   There gonna be a mighty slow down
