Right in your wedding day on your feet
Light in your head and dead on your feet
This city dancin' makes you feel so cold
This city desert makes you feel so cold
Way down the street there's a lad on his face.
Way down the street there's a light in his place.
Way down the street there's a lout in his place
Way down the street there's a light in his place
Well another crazy day, you'll dream the night away
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away
Why did you wait down on Baker Street
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Why did you wait here on Baker Street?
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Why did you wait on Baker Street?
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Winding awake down on Baker Street,
Right in your head are dead men at your feet
Winding your way down on Baker Street,
Light in your head and dead on your feet
You tell him a scene and you talk about anything
You tell him who you've seen and you talk about anything
You're heading out that way
You'll drink the night away
