Notes
From the Anthology:
BIG BAD MOON: This song came to me as I was driving home from the airport one evening with a big full moon rising in a darkening sky. By the time I got home it was finished and ready to record. Then it occurred to me that I had written a vocal song for an otherwise instrumental CD, "Flying in a Blue Dream." This song then became the catalyst for writing five more vocal songs to accompany the 12 instrumenta!s. The voice I use is not really mine as much as it is an imaginary character's, dreamed up to meet the song's attitude and style. We even shot a video for this one!
Lyrics
When the night falls, the big moons gonna rise.
You can look right up, see it in the sky.
Makes me feel like Im going to blow a fuse.
I start to shiver and shake with a strange kind of blues.
...but I like it.
I see it now the moon is high above.
Its got a hold on me, I just cant get enough.
Big, round, black and white, I feel the pull, I see the light.
Big bad moons looking down on me tonight.
...but I like it.
When the moon comes, got nowhere to hide.
It can turn your head around like it turns the tide.
Man, woman, boy, child. makes you feel like you were born wild.
The big bad moons looking down on me tonight.
...but I like it.
...i like it.
Talkin bout big bad moon
Ooh yeah big bad moon
Talkin bout big bad moon
Ooh yeah...
