    Form Lyrics
    Just a small town girl
    Verse 1 Livin' in a lonely world
    She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

    Interlude

    Verse 2 Just a city boy


    Born and raised in south Detroit
    He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

    A singer in a smoky room


    A smell of wine and cheap perfume
    Verse 3
    For a smile they can share the night
    It goes on and on, and on, and on

    Strangers waiting
    Up and down the boulevard
    Chorus Their shadows searching in the night
    Streetlights, people
    Living just to find emotion
    Hiding somewhere in the night
    Interlude

    Working hard to get my fill


    Verse 4 Everybody wants a thrill
    Payin' anything to roll the dice
    Just one more time

    Some will win, some will lose


    Verse 5 Some were born to sing the blues
    Oh, the movie never ends
    It goes on and on, and on, and on

    Strangers waiting
    Up and down the boulevard
    Chorus Their shadows searching in the night
    Streetlights, people
    Living just to find emotion
    Hiding somewhere in the night

    Don't stop believin'


    Bridge Hold on to the feelin'
    Streetlights, people
    Don't stop believin'

    Hold on
    Bridge Streetlights, people
    Don't stop believin'
    Hold on to the feelin'
    Streetlights, people
