Come on get ahold of yourself it’s a quarter to midnight
And something hangin’ up in the air tells me somethin’ ain’t quite right
You better get ahold of yourself
The rest of your life is up on the shelf
Waiting for you to bring it down so don’t put up a fight
Get ahold of yourself it’s a quarter to midnight
Don’t leave all your dreams by the side of the road
Or bury them deep where nobody else goes
Your life is flashin’ ‘fore your very eyes
Mortified by the tunnel’s light
So you better get your affairs in order it’s a quarter to midnight
Get ahold of yourself it’s a quarter to midnight
Don’t borrow sorrow from tomorrow
You’ll be livin’ on death row
And you’ve got quite a bit to live for
To be knockin’ on death’s door
Time it may be tickin’ I know
But you’ve still got a bit left to go
Time to right some wrongs and move on
Enjoy the rest of the show
Get ahold of yourself it’s a quarter to midnight
Don’t leave all your dreams by the side of the road
Or bury them deep where nobody else goes
Your life is flashin’ ‘fore your very eyes
Mortified by the tunnel’s light
So you better get your affairs in order it’s a quarter to midnight
Get ahold of yourself it’s a quarter to midnight
