Midnight Ravers Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            Do-do-do.  Do-do-do.  Do-do-do.
            (You can't tell the woman from the man)
            No, I say you can't, 'cause they're dressed in the same pollution;
               (dressed in the same pollution)
            Their mind is confused with confusion
            With their problems since they've no solution:
            They become the midnight ravers.

            Someone say:
            (Please, don't let me down!)
               Oh, please, don't let me - ee-ya-bab, oh, please don't let me down!
            (Midnight) Midnight ravers! (ravers) Midnight ravers!
            (Please don't)   Oh, please, please,
               don't let me down, down, down, down, down!
            Don't let me down;
            Don't let me down.

            I see ten thousand chariots        (ah-ah-ah-ah)
            And they coming without horses;    (coming without horses)
            The riders - they cover their face,  (ah-ah-ah-ah)
            So you couldn't make them out in smoky place -
               (make them out in smoky places)
            In that musical stampede, where everyone is doing their thing.
            Musical stampede - people swingin';
            Musical stampede.  Someone say:
            People, ride on!  (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Ride on!
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Midnight ravers!
            People, ride on!  (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Ride on!
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Midnight ravers!

            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 problem seems there's never - never no solution!

            I've become a night-life raver
            And I'm beggin' you, (please) please, please -
               oh, beel-ya-ba-ba - please don't ya let me down!

            (Night-life ravers)  Night-life ravers!  Night-life ravers!
            Oh, please, please, please, please, don't let me down.
            Don't let me down;
            Don't let me down!

            I see ten thousand chariots        (ah-ah-ah-ah)
            And they coming without horses;    (coming without horses)
            The riders they cover their face,  (ah-ah-ah-ah)
            So you couldn't make them out in smoky place -
            In that musical stampede, oh!
            It's the musical stampede.  Ride on!
            It's the musical stampede, some preacher say!
            People ride on!   (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Ride on!
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Midnight ravers!
            A-ride on!        (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Ride on!
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Midnight ravers!
            Ride on, y'all!   (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Ride on!
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Midnight ravers!
            Ride on!          (keep a-ridin'!)
            (keep a-ridin'!)  Don't let me down, midnight ravers!
               (keep a-ridin'!)
            Midnight ravers, don't let me down!  (keep a-ridin'!)
            Don't let me down - don't let me down!  (keep a-ridin'!)
            Well, I'm comin'!
            I got too much talkin'.         /fadeout/
