Intro] (4 bars instrumental) [Verse 1] Midnight stole the light, left me on these streets alone Same old city, same old ache that aches me to the bone Neon hum and footsteps, shadowed corners of my mind But something pushed me forward, left that heartbreak behind [Pre-Chorus] I felt the pull, I heard the call — couldn't stay where I fell Turned my back on yesterday, learned to wish myself well [Chorus] No more crying, no more lying to myself tonight Streetlights guide me, I've got a new smile in the neon light No more waiting by the telephone, no more holding on I'm dancing with these streetlights now — moving steady, moving on [Verse 2] I used to chase your shadow, begged for one more little taste Now the rhythm's in my bones, I walk proud with steady pace Sidewalks keep my secrets, but my laughter's found its place Got a fresh grin on my face, watch me take back all my space [Pre-Chorus] I felt the pull, I heard the call — couldn't stay where I fell Turned my back on yesterday, learned to wish myself well [Chorus] No more crying, no more lying to myself tonight Streetlights guide me, I've got a new smile in the neon light No more waiting by the telephone, no more holding on I'm dancing with these streetlights now — moving steady, moving on [Bridge Instrumental] (8 bars wah guitar solo over chord vamp) [Drum Interlude] (4 bars drums solo — syncopated fills building intensity, final bar: big fill landing on beat 1) [Guitar Tag] (2 bars lead guitar lick answering the drum hit, then drop to vocal) [Final Chorus] No more crying, no more lying — watch me walk into the dawn Streetlights steady, heart unsteady, but this sorrow's nearly gone No more waiting by the telephone — I'm done with yesterday's song Dancing with these streetlights, baby — moving steady, moving on [Outro] (4 bars instrumental fade: guitar + Rhodes + walking bass)
