Time was drifting, this rocket 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 Belly fever made me feel alright But I must admit it got the best of me Looking down so deep I could have drowned Now I can't get back the way I used to be 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 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
