Lyrics
Finn:
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Rachel:
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Finn:
A singer in a smoky room
Rachel:
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
Rachel and Finn:
For a smile they 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
Livin' just to find emotion
Hiding
Somewhere in the night
Rachel:
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Rachel and Finn:
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Rachel:
Some will win
Rachel and Finn:
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
And now 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
Livin' just to find emotion
Hiding
Somewhere in the night
Rachel with New Directions:
Don't stop believin'
Rachel and Finn:
Hold on to that feelin'
Rachel and Finn with New Directions:
Street lights people, oh, woah, ohh
Don't stop believin'
Rachel and Finn:
Hold on to that feelin'
Rachel and Finn with New Directions:
Street lights people, oh, whoa, ohh
Don't stop!
