The clock is striking midnight
And it's over none too soon
I can hear the angry voices
Howling at the moon

And you, you're sitting lonely
And the night is growing still
You think that you won't make it through
But I know you always will

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

The smells excite your senses
And you wish that it would stop
But it's all made more intensified
By the pounding of the clock

And you begin to wonder
How long will this go on
How much longer will it be
'Til your consciousness is gone

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

The whole thing seems so senseless
But there's nothing you can do
You couldn't find a way out
If you wanted to

And it's all made more confusing
By the rumbling of the floor
The band keeps playing on and on
As you stumble for the door

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
Carry on

Don't let it get you down
Don't let it turn you 'round
Don't let it get you down
