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 couldn't see the light
no i couldn't see the light
i kept on looking for a way
to take me through the night
i couldn't get it right
i couldn't 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 can't 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)
