Just a small town girl Living in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit Took the midnight train going anywhere A singer in a smoky 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 waiting Up and down, pool above their shadows Searching the night Streetlights, people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Da-da-da, da-da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da Workin' hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill They ain't anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win Some will lose They wanna sing the blues But the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting, da-da-da Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night, da-da-da Streetlights, people, da-da-da Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Shine, shine, shine the light Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlights, people Don't stop Streetlights, people
