Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world.
She took the midnight train going anywhere.
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit.
He took the midnight train going anywhere.

A singer in a cloudy room.
A smell of fur and cheap cartoons.
For a smile, they can watch our show.
It goes on and on and on and on.

Strangers (strangers) waiting (waiting),
Up and down the boulevard (ooh).
Their shadows (shadows) searchin' in the night (night).
Streetlight (streetlight) people (people), livin' just to find emotion.
Hidin' (hidin') somewhere (somewhere)in the night (night).

Workin' hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill.
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time.
Some will win and some will lose.
Some were born to sing the blues.
Oh, the movie never ends.
It goes on and on and on and on.

Don't stop believin'.
Hold on to the feeling.
Streetlight people.

Hold on to the feeling.
Streetlight people.
