Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
 You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
 People'd call, say: 'Beware doll, you're bound to fall'
 You thought they were all kiddin' you.
 You used to laugh about
 Everybody that was hangin' out
 Now you don't talk so loud
 Now you don't seem so proud
 About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel?
 To be without a home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 Ah, you've gone to the finest school, all right, Miss Lonely
 But you know you only used to get juiced in it
 Nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street
 And now you are gonna have to get used to it.
 You said you'd never compromise
 With the mystery tramp but know you realize
 He's not selling any alibis
 As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
 And say: 'Do you want to make a deal?'
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel?
 To be on your own?
 With no direction home?
 A complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns
 On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
 You never understood that it ain't no good
 You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
 You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
 Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
 Ain't it hard when you discover that?
 He really wasn't where it's at
 After he took from you everything he could steal.
 How does it feel?
 How does it feel?
 To be on your own?
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
 Ah, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
 They are drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
 Exchanging all precious gifts
 But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it, babe.
 You used to be so amused
 At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
 Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
 When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
 You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
 How does it feel?
 Oh, how does it feel?
 To be on your own?
 With no direction home?
 Like a complete unknown?
 Like a rolling stone?
