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.
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.
