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



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 or maybe someone groovie

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' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'



You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'



You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'



You won't see a kid walkin' home from school

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'



Their mothers pick 'em up in a car pool

Nobody's walkin' walkin' 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 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.



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.



Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'



Nobody walks in L.A
