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 smoky room,
The smell of wine and cheap perfume.
For a smile you can share the night,
It goes on and on and on and on.
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard.
Their shadows searching in the night.
Streetlight people,
Living just to find emotion.
Hiding somewhere in the night.
Working hard to get my fill,
'Cause everybody wants a thrill.
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time.
Well some will win, some will lose,
And some were born to sing the blues.
Oh, the movie never ends,
It goes on and on and on and on.
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard.
Their shadows searching in the night.
Streetlight people,
Living just to find emotion.
Hiding somewhere in the night.
Don't stop believin',
Hold on to that feelin',
Streetlight people.
