The night`s alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart`s desire through the night with our eyes.
Wheels are tuniing 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
it`s the American heartbeat
Oh
the American heartbeat.
The stage is set
the roles are chosen.
The lights grow hot as the midnight`s closin` in at last -
It comes so fast.
Poundin` harder as the midnight`s strikin`
It hits us like a bolt of lightning.
Deeper down
it`s the sound of the American heartbeat.
Chart the stars and head out for the action
Hit the streets an find some satisfaction.
It`s the American heartbeat - young and proud
The American heartbeat - young and proud
American heartbeat
the American heartbeat
It`s the American heartbeat
it`s the American heartbeat
