baker street

• 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 desert 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.
  
  you used to think that it was so easy,
  you used to say that it was so easy
  but you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now.
  another year and then you’d be happy
  just one more year and then you’d be happy
  but you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now.
  
  way down the street there’s a light in his place
  you open 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 anything.
  
  he’s got this dream about buyin’ some land
  he’s gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
  and then he’ll settle down, it’s a quiet little town
  and forget about everything.
  
  but you know he’ll always keep movin’
  you know he’s never gonna stop movin’
  cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rollin’ stone.
  and when you wake up it’s a new morning
  the sun is shining, it’s a new morning
  but you’re going, you’re going home.
