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
A 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 the boulevard
Their shadows searching
in the night
Streetlights people,
living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working 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

(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
