Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didnÂ’t you?
People called said “beware doll; you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all a-kiddinÂ’ you
You usto laugh about everybody that was hanginÂ’ out
Now you donÂ’t talk so loud, now you donÂ’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Oh youÂ’ve gone through the finest school all right miss lonely
But you know you only usto get juiced in it
NobodyÂ’s ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now youÂ’re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise with a mystery tramp but now you realise
HeÂ’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
Without a direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Oh youÂ’ve never turned around to see the frowns on the
jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
Never understand that it ainÂ’t no good
You shouldnÂ’t let other people get your kicks for you
You usto ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
AinÂ’t it hard when you discover that he wasnÂ’t really where itÂ’s at?
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Ham on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people they all
drinkinÂ’ thinkinÂ’ that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you better take a diamond ring
You better pawn it babe
You usto be so amused
And napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now he calls ya, ya canÂ’t refuse
When ya ainÂ’t got nothing, ya got nothing to lose
YouÂ’re invisible now youÂ’ve 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
