Listening Activity*

DON’T STOP BELIEVING – GLEE CAST*

Just a small town girl, living in a lonely worldShe took the midnight train going anywhere

Just a city boy, born and raised in South DetroitHe took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smoky roomThe smell of wine and cheap perfumeFor a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevardTheir shadows searching in the nights

Streetlights, people, living just to find emotionHiding, somewhere in the nights

Working hard to get my fill,Everybody wants a thrill

Paying anything to roll the diceJust one more time

Some will win, some will loseSome are born to sing the bluesAnd now the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believingHold on to that feeling

Streetlight, peopleDon't stop

Don't stop believingHold on to that feeling

Streetlight, peopleDon't stop
