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