look ahead as we pass try and focus on it
i won’t be fooled by a cheap cinema trick
it must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
top forty cast off from a record stand
walkin’ in la
nobody walks in la
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 groovy
one thing’s for sure he isn’t starring in the movies
cause he’s
walkin’ walkin’ walkin’ walkin’
you won’t see a cop walkin’ on the beat
you only see ’em drivin’ cars out on the street
you won’t see a kid walkin’ home from school
their mothers pick ’em up in a car pool
could it be that the smog’s playing tricks on my eyes
or is it a roller skater 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
