Part 3
DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’

“Train’s right on time sir,” Lewis reports to Marion.

“They’re on their way then?” Marion inquires.

“Well, lemme put it this way for ya…  Rain, hit it.”

Rain, one of the gods who remained, or, better said, goddess who remained, is sitting at her pearl white piano.  She takes Lewis’s cue and hits it¹:

And Lewis sings:

Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin’ anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Workin’ hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
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 nights
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on
Streetlights, people

Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlights, people
