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