+Just a small town girl
+Livin' in a lonely world
+She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
+Just a city boy
+Born and raised in South Detroit
+He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
+A singer in a smokey room
+The smell of wine and cheap perfume
+For a smile they can share the night
+It goes on and on, and on, and on
+Strangers, waitin'
+Up and down the boulevard
+Their shadows
+Searchin' in the night
+Streetlights, people
+Livin' just to find emotion
+Hidin' somewhere in the night
+Workin' hard to get my fill
+Everybody wants a thrill
+Payin' anything to roll the dice
+Just one more time
+Some will win
+Some will lose
+Some were born to sing the blues
+Oh, the movie never ends
+It goes on and on, and on, and on
+Strangers waitin'
+Up and down the boulevard
+Their shadows
+Searchin' in the night
+Streetlights, people
+Livin' just to find emotion
+Hidin' somewhere in the night
+Don't stop believin'
+Hold on to that feelin'
+Streetlight, people
+Don't stop, believin'
+Hold on
+Streetlights, people
+Don't stop believin'
+Hold on to that feelin'
+Streetlight, people
