Just a small town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train going anywhere

Born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train going anywhere

...

...

A singer in a smokey room

烟雾缭绕的房间里，一个歌手

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

弥漫着廉价香水和酒的气味

For a smile they can share the night

为了一个微笑，他们愿意共度良宵

It goes on and on and on and on

就这样，日复一日，永不停歇

Strangers waitin'

陌生人在等待

Up and down the boulevard

在林荫大道上徘徊

Their shadows searchin' in the night

他们的影子在夜里寻找

Streetlights, people

Livin' just to find emotion

为了寻找情感而活

Hidin', somewhere in the night

隐藏在黑夜的某个地方

Workin' hard to get my fill

努力工作，只为填饱肚子

Everybody wants a thrill

每个人都想要刺激

Payin' anything to roll the dice

不惜一切，只为掷一次骰子

Just one more time

再来一次就好

Some'll win, some will lose

有人赢，有人输

Some are born to sing the blues

有些人天生就是唱蓝调的命

Whoa, the movie never ends

哇，这部电影永不落幕

It goes on and on and on and on

就这样，日复一日，永不停歇

Strangers waitin'

Up and down the boulevard

在林荫大道上徘徊

Their shadows searchin' in the night

他们的影子在夜里寻找

Streetlights, people
