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
