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