Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime Didn't you People called say beware doll You're bound to fall You thought they were all Kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging it 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 You've gone to the finest school Allright miss lonely But you know you only used to get Juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you How to live in the street And now you're gonna have to get Used to it You say you never compromise With the mystery tramp But now you realize He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say do you want to do Make a deal How does it feel How does it feel To be on your homewith no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone 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 hang on your home With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Princess on the steeple And all the pretty people They're drinking thinking That they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you'd better Take a 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 ain't got nothing You got nothing to lose You are invisible nowyou got no secrets to conceal How does it feel How does it feel To be on your home With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone
