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 thought they were all kiddin' you.
You used to laugh about. Ev´rybody that was hangin' out.
Now you don't talk so loud. Now you don't seem so proud

About havin' to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel? How does it feel? To be without a home

Like a complete unknown. 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.
Nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it.

You said, you´d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis, as you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And say, "Do you want to make a deal?"

How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own

With no direction home, a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?

Oh, you never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.

You used to ride on the 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 ev´rything, he could steal.

#How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own

With no direction home. Like a complete unknown. Like a rolling stone?

A---h, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They´re all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made.
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it, babe

You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
You´re invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal #
