Walking Blues (Live) - Grateful Dead

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 right from the 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, 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' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin' You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat (Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin') You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street (Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin') You won't see a kid walkin' home from school (Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin') Their mothers pick 'em up in a carpool (Nobody's 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 it's a roller skater, 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. 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., only a nobody walks in L.A. Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' Nobody's, nobody walks in L.A.

We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

She came without a farthing A babe without a name So much ado about nothing Is what she'd try to say So much ado, my lover So many games we played Through every fleeted Summer Through every precious day All dead, all dead All the dreams we had And I wonder why I still live on All dead, all dead And alone, I'm spared My sweeter half instead All dead and gone All dead All dead, all dead At the rainbow's end And still, I hear her own sweet song All dead, all dead Take me back again You know my little friend's All dead and gone Her ways are always with me I wander all the while But, please, you must forgive me I am old but still a child All dead, all dead But I should not grieve In time it comes to everyone All dead, all dead But in hope, I breathe Of course, I don't believe You're dead and gone All dead and gone
