Once upon a time you dressed so fine |
|
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? |
|
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" |
|
You even thought they were all kidding you |
|
You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out |
|
Now you don't talk so loud |
|
Now you don't seem so proud |
|
About having to be scrounging for your next meal |
|
How does it feel? |
|
I wanna know, how does it feel to be out on your own? |
|
To be without a home |
|
Like a complete unknown |
|
Like a rolling stone |
|
Just like a rolling stone |
|
You've gone to the finest school alright, Miss Lonely |
|
But you know you only |
|
Used to get juiced in it |
|
And nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street |
|
And now you gonna find out how to get used to that |
|
You said you'd never compromise |
|
With the mystery tramp, and now you realize |
|
He ain't selling any alibis |
|
And as you look into the vacuum of his eyes |
|
And say, "Do you want to make a deal?" |
|
How does it feel? |
|
Tell me, how does it feel to be out on your own? |
|
A complete unknown |
|
Like a rolling stone |
|
Like a rolling stone |
|
You never turned around to see the frowns |
|
On the jugglers and the clowns |
|
When they all came down, did tricks for you |
|
You never understood |
|
That it ain't no good |
|
You shouldn't let other people come and get your kicks for you |
|
You used to ride on your chrome horse with your diplomat |
|
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat |
|
Ain't it hard when you discover that |
|
He really wasn't where it's at? |
|
After he took from you everything he could steal |
|
How does it feel? |
|
Tell me, how does it feel to be out on your own? |
|
A complete unknown |
|
Like a rolling stone |
|
Like a rolling stone |
