winding your way down on baker street
light in your head and dead on your feet
well another crazy day
you'll drink the night away
and forget about everything
this city's dance makes you feel so cold
it's got so many people that it's got no soul
and it's taking you so long
to find out you were wrong
when you thought it held everything
you used to think that it was so easy
you 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
way down the street there's a lad in his place
he opens the door
and he's got that look on his face
and he asks you were 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 some quiet little town
and forget about everything
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
