Walking In L.A.

(album: Spring Session M - 1982)

Look ahead as we pass, try and focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top-forty cast off from a record stand

Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

I don't know could've been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to do the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovie
One thing's for sure, he isn't starring in the movies

'Cause he's walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking

You won't see a cop walking on the beat
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking

You only see 'em driving cars out on the street
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking

You won't see a kid walking home from school
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking

Their mothers pick 'em up in a car pool
Nobody's walking walking walking walking

Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes
Or is it a rollerskater in some kind of headphone disguise
Maybe somebody who just ran out of gas
Making his way back to the pumps the best way he can

Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walking in L.A.
Walking in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking
Nobody's walking walking walking walking walking

Nobody walks in L.A.
