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
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

With the mystery tramp but now you realize
About having to be scrounging around for your next meal
When they all came down and did tricks for you

You thought they were all kiddin' you
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
He really wasn't where it's at?
And say,"Do you want to make a deal?"
Exchanging all precious gifts and things

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
How does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel, how does it feel
You're invisible, you got no secrets to conceal
Ain't it hard when you discover that
You used to laugh about everybody that was hangin' out
To be on your own with no direction home?
You never turned around to see the frowns
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose

On the jugglers and the clowns
After he's taken everything he could steal
To be without a home, with no direction home?
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Now you don't talk so loud, now you don't seem so proud
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
Drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
But take your diamond ring down and pawn it, babe

You said you'd never compromise
He's not selling any alibis
Don't you know you only used to get juiced in it?
You should never let other people get your kicks for you
To be without a home, with no direction home?
Go to him now, he calls you, and you can't refuse
To be without a home, with no direction home?
Now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it

You never understood that it ain't no good
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
