American Heartbeat Survivor

The night's alive with wind and fire,
We telegraph our heart's desire,
Though the night -- with our eyes,
Wheels are turnin' -- fast and hard,
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard,
Hear them pound -- young and proud,
It's the American Heartbeat.
Chart the stars and head out for the action,
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction.

*It's the American Heartbeat,
The American Heartbeat,
It's the American Heartbeat --
American Heartbeat. *

The stage is set, the roles are chosen,
The lights grow hot at the midnight's closin'
In at last, it comes so fast,
Poundin' harder as the midnight's striking,
It hits us like a bolt of lightning,
But deeper down it's the sound of the American Heartbeat.
So chart the stars and head out for the action,
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction.

( * Repeat)
