Just a small-town girl 
 Livin' in a lonely world 
 She took the midnight train goin' anywhere 
 Just a city boy 
 Born and raised in South Detroit 
 He took the midnight train goin' anywhere 
    A singer in a smokey 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   
 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   
 Workin' hard to get my fill 
 Everybody wants a thrill 
 Payin' anything to roll the dice 
 Just one more time   
 Some will win, some will lose 
 Some are born to sing the blues 
 Oh, the movie never ends 
 It goes on, and on, and on, and on   
 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   
 Don't stop believin' 
 Hold on to that feeling 
 Streetlights, people   
 Don't stop believin' 
 Hold on to that feeling 
 Streetlights, people   
 Don't stop believin' 
 Oh, oh 
 Streetlights, people 
 Oh, oh
