The night`s alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart`s desire
Through the night with our eyes
Wheels are turnin` fast and hard
Hearts are burnin` on the boulevard
Hear them pound young and proud
It`s the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction
It`s the American Heartbeat
The American heartbeat
It`s the American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat
The stage is set the roles are chosen
The lights grow hot
As the midnight`s closin` in
At last it comes so fast
Poundin` harder as the midnight`s strikin
It hits us like a bolt of lightning
Deeper down it`s the sound of the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction
