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