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
And 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
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right
Philly's fever made me feel alright
But I must admit it got the best of me
Gettin' down so deep I could've drowned
Now I can't get back the way I used to be
And 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
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right
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
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
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right
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
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right
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
Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right
I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night
But I couldn't see the light...
