Winding you way down to 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
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And its taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had 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 light in his place
Opens the door
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 the rolling stone
When you wake up its a new morning
The sun is shining its a new morning
You're going, your going' home
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
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And its taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had 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 light in his place
Opens the door
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 the rolling stone
When you wake up its a new morning
The sun is shining its a new morning
You're going, your going' home

They made the song their own, without steering too far from the original.
My favourite lines are 'you drink the night away
And forget about everything', 'Another year and then you'd be happy' and 'Just one more year and then you'd be happy'.
The original is better, particularly because the saxophone parts. The sax has a presence like in movies where a sax player is on a balcony resounding through the night. Also with Baker Street being the home of legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, sax on the soundtrack is so film noir.
