[Verse 1]
  Just a small town girl,   living in a lonely world,
  she took the midnight train going anywhere.
 
[Verse 2]
  Just a city boy,   born and raised in South Detroit,
  he took the midnight train going anywhere.
 
 
[Verse 3]
  A singer in a smoky 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.
 
[Chorus]
Strangers, waiting   up and down the boulevard,
their shadows searching in the night.
Streetlight people,   living just to find emotion,
hiding somewhere in the [Interlude] night.

[Verse 4]
  Working hard to get my fill,   everybody wants a thrill,
  paying anything to roll the dice, just one more time.
 
[Verse 5]
  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]
Strangers, waiting   up and down the boulevard,
their shadows searching in the night.
Streetlight people,   living just to find emotion,
hiding somewhere in the [Interlude] night.
 
 
[Outro]
Don't stop believing,   hold on to the feeling,
streetlight people.
Don't stop believing,   hold on, ...
streetlight people.
