Don't Stop Briefin'

to "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey

She's just an LLM
A chain-smoking super fem
She took Lufthansa straight down to 116th
He's just a corn-fed chap
His dad's a partner at Cravath
He took the taxi straight up to 116th

Students in Lenfest Cafe
Hoping Fed. Courts melts away
With their textbooks they can share the night
They'll read on and on and on and on

(chorus)
Students meeting
Outside on Amsterdam
Making out later at Bar Review
Legal people
Typing on Lexis Nexis
Searching somewhere for the law!

Working hard to get my As
So I can get a job that pays
Public interest law is not my thing
'Cause I like those dimes
Some will pass, some will fail
Some will probably go to jail
But together we can make it through
We'll go on and on and on and on...

(chorus)

Don't stop briefin'
Never stop believin'
Legal people, ohhhhhh...

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 smokey 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

(chorus)
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night!

Working 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...

(chorus)

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people, ohhhhhh...
