Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhereJust a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhereA singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and onStrangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nightStreetlights people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the nightWorkin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more timeSome 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 onStrangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nightStreetlights people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the nightDon't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight peopleDon't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight peopleDon't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
