Walking in L.A. Lyrics by Missing Persons

Spring Session M

1982

[Verse 1]
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 cutout of a man
Top forty cast off from the record stand

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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—

[Chorus]
Walkin' in L.A
Walkin' in L.A
Nobody walks in L.A
Walkin' in L.A
Walkin' in L.A
Honey, nobody walks in L.A


[Bridge]
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’)

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes?
Or is 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?

[Chorus]
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
Honey, nobody walks in L.A

Walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’, walkin’
Nobody’s

Nobody walks in L.A
