Lyrics[]

Finn:
Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere

Rachel:
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

Puck:
A singer in a smoky room

Santana:
A smell of wine and cheap perfume

Puck and Santana:
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Artie, Finn, and Rachel:
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

Kurt:
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill

Finn and Kurt:
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Santana:
Some will win

Puck and Santana:
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues

Artie and Mercedes:
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

Mercedes:
Don't stop!

Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Don't stop believin'

Finn and Rachel:
Hold on to that feelin'

Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Streetlights
People (Mercedes: Yeah!)

Don't stop believin'

Finn and Rachel:
Hold on to that feeling (Mercedes: Yeah!)

Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
Streetlights
People

Finn, Mercedes, and Rachel with New Directions:
Don't stop!
