On ce upon a time you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a di me in your prime, didn't you ?
Pe ople'd call, sa y, 'Beware doll, you're bound to fall,'
You thought the y were all a’kiddin' you.
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out.
No w you don't talk so loud,
No w you don't seem so proud,
About having to be scroung ing your next meal.
How does it feel ?
How does it feel ?
To be without a home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling ston e ?
Aw, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely,
But you know you only used to get “juiced” in it.
Nob ody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street,
And now you're gonna have to get used to it.
You say you never compromise
Wi th a mystery tramp, but now you realize
He 's not selling a ny 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 ston e ?
Aw, 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 oth er people get your kicks for you.
Yo u used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Wh o carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
Ai n't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everyt hing he could steal ?
How does it feel ?
How does it feel ?
To have ya’ on your own ?
With no direction home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling ston e ?
Aw, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're al l drinkin', thinkin' that they’ve got it made.
Ex changing all precious gifts,
But you'd bette r take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
Yo u 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.
Wh en you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you’ve got no s ecrets to conceal.
How does it feel ?
Aw, how does it feel ?
To be on your own ?
With no direction home ?
Like a complete unknown ?
Like a rolling stone ?
