The flashing neon excites my blood

Breathing in the carnival air

That old street of dreams has got my head spinning

Being there at the pleasure fair



I'm no stranger to danger

He's been my lifelong friend

I can feel the pulse of the city

Who knows how it will end



Midnight flyer, higher and higher

And the sun won't rise till five

And I don't care if I'm spending my money

At least I feel alive

Midnight flyer



Suburban village has gone to sleep 

But I'm just waking up

The night holds a promise I intend to keep

To fill my loving cup



I know it's a long shot

But tonight I'm gonna take a chance

I can feel the rhythm of the city

It's my turn to dance



Midnight flyer, higher and higher

And the sun won't rise till five

I don't care if I'm spending my money

At least I feel alive



Midnight flyer, I'm on fire

Nothin's gonna stand in my way

I'm gonna keep on moving to the beat of the city

Until the break of day



Midnight flyer, I'm on fire

Midnight flyer, I'm on fire

Nothin's gonna stand in my way

Midnight flyer
