[Verse 1]
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city's dance makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
[Bridge]
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now
[Verse 2]
Way down the street there's a light in his place
Opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about everything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down
In this quiet little town
And forget about everything
[Bridge]
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know, he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's a rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
You're going, you're going home
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city's dance makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
[Bridge]
Used to think that it was so easy
Used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now
[Verse 2]
Way down the street there's a light in his place
Opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about everything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down
In this quiet little town
And forget about everything
[Bridge]
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know, he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's a rolling stone
When you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
You're going, you're going home
