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
