Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll So I hit the road and made my getaway Restless feeling, really got a hold I started searching for a better way
But I kept on looking for a sign In the middle of the night But I couldnt see the light No I couldnt see the light I kept on looking for a way To take me through the night I couldnt get it right I couldnt get it right
L.A. fever made me feel alright But I must admit it got the best of me Getting down, so deep I could have drowned Now, I cant get back the way I used to be (repeat chorus)
New York City took me with the tide And I nearly died from hospitality Left me stranded, took away my pride Just another no account fatality (repeat chorus
