Walking In L.A.

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 right from the record stand

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' 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, maybe someone groovy
One thing's for sure, he isn't starring in the movies

'Cause he's walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin'

You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat
(Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin')
You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street
(Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin')
You won't see a kid walkin' home from school
(Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin')
Their mothers pick 'em up in a carpool
(Nobody's walkin', walkin')

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes?
Or it's a roller skater, 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

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
Nobody's, nobody walks in L.A.
