The flashing neon excites my blood   Breathing in the carnival air   That old street of dreams has got my head spinning   Being there at the pleasure fair      I'm no stranger to danger   He's been my lifelong friend   I can feel the pulse of the city   Who knows how it will end      Midnight flyer, higher and higher   And the sun won't rise till five   And I don't care if I'm spending my money   At least I feel alive   Midnight flyer      Suburban village has gone to sleep   But I'm just waking up   The night holds a promise I intend to keep   To fill my loving cup      I know it's a long shot   But tonight I'm gonna take a chance   I can feel the rhythm of the city   It's my turn to dance      Midnight flyer, higher and higher   And the sun won't rise till five   I don't care if I'm spending my money   At least I feel alive      Midnight flyer, I'm on fire   Nothin's gonna stand in my way   I'm gonna keep on moving to the beat of the city   Until the break of day      Midnight flyer, I'm on fire   Midnight flyer, I'm on fire   Nothin's gonna stand in my way   Midnight flyer
