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?
You’ve
gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But
you know you only used to get juiced in it
And
nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And
now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You
said you’d 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 ask him do you want to make a deal?
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?
You
never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When
they all come down and 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?
Princess
on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re
drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging
all kinds of precious gifts and things
But
you’d better lift 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
How
does it feel
To
be on your own
With
no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
