Just a small town girl, living 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

I see her in a smokey room, I smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers, waiting'walking' down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Street lightspeople
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
Betting anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the bluesoh the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers, waitingwalking down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Street lightspeople
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don't stopbelievinghold on to that feeling
Street lightpeople

Don't stopbelievinghold on
Street lightpeople

Don't stop believinghold on to that feeling(fading)
(Fading) Street lightpeopleohhhh
Don't stop
