The Walker Lyrics
Ooh, crazy's what they think about me
Ain't gonna stop cause they tell me so
Cuz 99 miles per hour baby,
Is how fast that I like to go.
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus:]
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really mean it, mean it
I wake up to the city of angels
To see my name headlining the coast
They say I'm a walking dreamer, baby
If I stop they would make the show
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus x2]
Everybody walk
Everybody walk
Everybody walk, walk, walk...
[Chorus x2]
Ain't gonna stop cause they tell me so
Cuz 99 miles per hour baby,
Is how fast that I like to go.
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really mean it, mean it
To see my name headlining the coast
They say I'm a walking dreamer, baby
If I stop they would make the show
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
Everybody walk
Everybody walk, walk, walk...

Fitz and the Tantrums performed this song on The Ellen Show, which it turns out, was inspired by none other than my dear friend Marc Abrams. aka, The Walking Man. What a lovely tribute after 3 1/2 years of his absence. Enjoy: http://youtu.be/OzCmluTKEoc

To me this song combined with the music video is about someone who is just dissatisfied with their lot in life that they stop caring and decide to do their own thing at the cost of other people's opinions. For me the argument is stability vs happiness. What would you give up to be happy?
This song is about Los Angeles CA
