Like a Rolling Stone Songtext

Like a Rolling Stone Songtext
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn′t you?
People call, say "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don′t talk so loud
Now you don'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?
You've gone to the finest school, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody′s ever taught you how to live out on the street
Now you′re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He ain't selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And you say, "Do you wanna 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?
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 a 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?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin′ that they got it made
Exchangin′ all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it, baby
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 nothin′, you got nothin' to lose
You′re invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal
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?
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn′t you?
People call, say "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don′t talk so loud
Now you don'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?
You've gone to the finest school, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody′s ever taught you how to live out on the street
Now you′re gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He ain't selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And you say, "Do you wanna 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?
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

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?
