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 groovy 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.

You can feel it closing in on you but there's not much you can do It's not a thing you can put your finger on, but you know when it's gone Endless stream of highways neon roadsigns and telephone lines A little town somewhere in the midwest gonna put your patience to the test It's the U.S. Drag U.S. Drag It's the U.S. Drag Their ain't no drag like the U.S. Drag Music down a windy street, half a glance from strangers you don't wanna meet Juke box blaring, stale beat, mixes with gamblers, gangsters boredom & fear in the pale blue T.V. light It's the U.S. Drag U.S. Drag It's the U.S. Drag Their ain't no drag like the U.S. Drag An it's closin' in on you It's the U.S. Drag It's the U.S. Drag and there's nothing you can do U.S. Drag U.S. Drag It's the U.S. Drag It's the U.S. Drag
I can't bear the thought of leaving you but I don't dare to stay My heart and soul are at a tug of war but my choice is made Left with emptyiness no second thoughts there's nothing less to say There was time enough to tell you that you were the only one I held thoughts of you inside me when I was the lonely one You so thoughtlessly took all from me and drained my life away All I have left to give are my tears All I have left to give are my tears All the time spent through all of the years All I have left to give are my tears, all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears They say time will heal everything; reason and common sense But with time and reason surely comes the loss of innocence I've outgrown this kind of silly game I just don't want to play Who'd have thought from such a simple start this would get so involved Who'd have thought that this would ever end being unresolved And for now I think I've had enough so let's call it a day All I have left to give are my tears All I have left to give are my tears All the time spent through all of the years All I have left to give are my tears, all my tears If there were someone I could turn to it would be easier for me It's not an easy thing to go through without a reason to believe They say time will heal everything; reason and common sense But with time and reason surely comes the loss of innocence I've outgrown this kind of silly game I just don't want to play Who'd have thought from such a simple start this would get so involved Who'd have thought that this would ever end being unresolved And for now I think I've had enough so let's call it a day All I have left to give are my tears All I have left to give are my tears All the time spent through all of the years All I have left to give are my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears all my tears

Do you hear me Do you care Do you hear me Do you care My lips are moving and the sound's coming out The words are audible but I have my doubts That you realize what has been said You look at me as if you're in a daze It's like the feeling at the end of the page when you realize you don't know what you just read What are words for when no one listens anymore What are words for when no one listens What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all I might as well go up and talk to a wall 'cause all the words are having no effect at all It's a funny thing am I all alone Something has to happen to change the direction What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression It's a sorry state I say to myself What are words for when no one listens anymore What are words for when no one listens What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all Do you hear me Do you care Do you hear me Do you care Let me get by Over your dead body Hope to see you soon When will I know Doors three feet wide with no locks open Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers Time could be my friend But it's less than nowhere now less than nowhere now less than nowhere now now ow ow ow Pursue it further and another thing you'll find Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind and no one notices I think I'll dye my hair blue Media overload bombarding you with action It's getting near impossible to cause distraction Someone answer me before I pull out the plug What are words for when no one listens anymore What are words for when no one listens What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all What are words for when no one listens anymore What are words for when no one listens What are words for when no one listens it's no use talkin at all Do you hear me Do you care Do you hear me Do you care tell me what are words for Do you hear me tell me what are words for Do you care tell me what are words for Do you hear me so tell me what are words for Do you care so tell me what are words for Do you hear me tell me what are words for so tell me what are words for Do you care so tell me what are words for Do you hear me tell me what are words for so tell me what are words for Do you care so tell me what are words for
I'll tell you right now I'm committed to myself I'll use you, I'll put it to you No one will ever play chess with my life I'm for certain, a free person It's only real when it's real for me I'm tryin'- not cryin; Seven chances means seven times changed No waiting- no debating I'm kicking down, bad streets Just looking at what I'm becoming I'm dancing to my beat Just look at the game I'm running No one ever gets close to me I'm selfish stand offish You'll never guess what I'm gonna do next I'm impulsive-compulsive I'll get over if its the last thing I do I'll make it- I won't fake it You can't tag along if you've got nothing better to do I'll show you- won't slow you I'm kicking down bad streets I'm having fun looking out for number one I'm just dancing to my beat Look at me go I know a lot of things that you don't know
She says that you need too much attention
What is the answer to this Rock n' Roll suspension
Will you remain alone to spend your old age pension
To reconcile with the housr of school you spent in detention
When she is gone where will you regain this adoration
Now what will you declare to be your destination
Can you defend on your reflection to disguise your love contamination
So she says that you need too much attention
What is the answer to this Rock n' Roll suspension
Do you examine your projections based on the impulses of your impressions
Just know only you will live your reputation will be the culmination be
perfection
Can you depend on your reflection to disguise your love contamination
Too much attention, this Rock n' Roll suspension
No way No way out No wat No way out I'm watching all my friends Searchin' so desperately They don't know but they really don't see They can't find peace of mind They're wasting all their time Lookin' for something That they'll never find I face the music n' dance Be what I have to be There's no escapin' from it now for me Who cares what it all means 'cause there can be no doubts You won't find me searchin' For an easy way out Every one's so afraid In this atomic age Can't seem to handle livin' Day to day Becomin' so confused They don't know what's in view They seek escape in everything They do I've had my fill of kicks I'm tired of drugs and sex And I don't worry 'bout what's happenin' next I'm not searchin' for a way out I'm not searchin' for a way out You won't find me searchin' for an easy way All you wanna do is seek escape escape escape I know there's no way out for me I know just what I have to be Days go by it's getting late Don't you know you're tempting fate
