Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can't tell the woman from the man
No, I say you can't, 'cause they dressed in the same pollution
Dressed in the same pollution
Their mind is confused with confusion
With their problems since there's no solution
They become the midnight ravers, and someone say
[PreChorus]
Please don't let me down
Oh, please, don't let me, I still have hope, oh, please don't you let me down
Midnight ravers
Midnight ravers, midnight ravers
Please don't let me down
Oh, please, please, don't let me down, down, down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down
[Chorus]
I see ten thousand chariots (Oh)
And they comin' without horses
Comin' without horses, yeah
The riders, they cover their face (Oh)
So you couldn't make them out in smoky place
Make them out in smoky places
[Chorus]
In that musical stampede
Where everyone is doin' their thing, yeah
Musical stampede, people swing
Musical stampede, someone say
[Chorus]
People, ride on, ride on
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
Ride on, ride on
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
[Verse 2]
Can't tell the woman from the man
I can't tell my woman from the man
She is dressed in the same pollution
Dressed in the same pollution
Her mind is confused with confusion
To my problems seems there's never, never no solution
I've become a night-life raver
[PreChorus]
And I'm begging you, please, please, oh, still I have hope, please, don't you let me down
Please don't let me down
Night-life ravers, please don't let me down
Night-life ravers, oh, night-life ravers, oh, please, please, please, please don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down
[Chorus]
I see ten thousand chariots (Oh)
And they comin' without horses
Comin' without horses, yeah
The riders, they cover their face (Oh)
So you couldn't make them out in smoky place
Make them out in smoky places
[Chorus]
In that musical stampede
Oh, it's a musical stampede, they ride on
It's a musical stampede
Some preachers say
[Chorus]
People, ride on, ride on
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
Ride on, ride on
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
[Chorus]
Ride on, y'all, ride on
People ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
Ride on, don't let me down, midnight ravers
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
Midnight ravers, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down
People ridin', people ridin' on, people ridin', midnight ravers
