Time was drifting - this rock had got to roll So, I hit the road and made my getaway Restless feeling really got ahold I started searching for a better way
I kept on looking for sign in the middle of the night But, I couldn't see the light - no, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right
Philly fever made me feel alright But, I must admit it got the best of me Gettin' down so deep I could've drowned Now, I can't get back the way I used to be
I kept on looking for sign in the middle of the night But, I couldn't see the light - no, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right
New York City took me with the tide And, I nearly died from hospitality Left me stranded - took away my pride Just another no account fatality
I kept on looking for sign in the middle of the night But, I couldn't see the light - no, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right
