    Like a rolling stone With the mystery tramp, but now To be on your own

    you realize
    [Bob Dylan] With no direction home
    He's not selling any alibis
    Like a complete unknown
    As you stare into the vacuum of
    Once upon a time you dressed so his eyes Like a rolling stone?
    fine
    And say do you want to make a
    You threw the bums a dime in deal? Princess on the steeple and all
    your prime, didn't you?
    the pretty people
    People'd call, say, "Beware doll,
    How does it feel? They're all drinkin', thinkin' that
    you're bound to fall"
    they got it made
    You thought they were all kiddin' How does it feel
    Exchanging all precious gifts
    you
    To be on your own
    But you'd better take your
    You used to laugh about
    With no direction home diamond ring, you'd better pawn
    Everybody that was hangin' out it babe
    A complete unknown
    Now you don't talk so loud You used to be so amused
    Like a rolling stone?
    Now you don't seem so proud At Napoleon in rags and the
    language that he used
    About having to be scrounging
    You never turned around to see Go to him now, he calls you, you
    for your next meal
    the frowns on the jugglers and can't refuse
    the clowns
    When you ain't got nothing, you
    How does it feel? When they all did tricks for you got nothing to lose

    How does it feel You never understood that it You're invisible now, you got no
    ain't no good secrets to conceal
    To be without a home
    You shouldn't let other people
    Like a complete unknown get your kicks for you
    How does it feel
    Like a rolling stone? You used to ride on the chrome
    horse with your diplomat How does it feel

    Who carried on his shoulder a To be on your own


    You've gone to the finest school
    Siamese cat
    all right, Miss Lonely With no direction home
    Ain't it hard when you discover
    But you know you only used to Like a complete unknown
    that
    get juiced in it
    Like a rolling stone?
    He really wasn't where it's at
    And nobody's ever taught you
    how to live out on the street After he took from you
    everything he could steal
    And now you're gonna have to
    get used to it

    You said you'd never compromise How does it feel?

    How does it feel
