[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night

[Pre-Chorus]
It goes on and on and on and on

[Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Verse 3]
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
[Verse 4]
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends

[Pre-Chorus]
It goes on and on and on and on

[Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Instrumental Break - Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
[Outro]
Don't stop believin'
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Streetlights, people
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
