Like A Rolling Stone Lyrics
Like A Rolling Stone - Dave Mekon
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
Everyone who was hangin' 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
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 on the street
And now you find out 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 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 come down and 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 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 kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift 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 ain't 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
