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 TAKE A FALL
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL JUST KIDDIN' YOU
YOU USED TO LAUGH ABOUT
EVERYBODY THAT WAS HANGIN' OUT
NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK SO LOUD
NOW YOU DON'T SEEM SO PROUD
ABOUT HAVING 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 ALL RIGHT, MISS LONELY
BUT YOU KNOW YOU ONLY USED TO GET JUICED IN IT
AND NOBODY HAS 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 KNOW YOU REALIZE
HE'S NOT SELLING ANY ALIBIS
AS YOU STARE INTO THE VACUUM OF HIS EYES
AND HE 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
LIKE A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
LIKE A ROLLING STONE?
YOU NEVER TURNED AROUND TO SEE THE FROWNS
ON THE JUGGLERS AND THE CLOWNS
WHEN THEY ALL DID THEIR 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 WHERE IT'S AT
AFTER HE TOOK FROM YOU EVERYTHING 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?
PRINCESS ON THE STEEPLE AND ALL THE PRETTY PEOPLE
THEY'RE DRINKIN', THINKIN' THAT THEY GOT IT MADE
EXCHANGING ALL PRECIOUS GIFTS
BUT YOU'D BETTER TAKE YOUR DIAMOND RINGS
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 NOTHING, YOU GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
YOU'RE INVISIBLE NOW, YOU GOT NO SECRETS TO CONCEAL
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?
