The Turtles - Like A Rolling Stone lyrics
Your rating:
Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you? People called said "beware doll; you're bound to fall" You thought they were all a-kiddin' you You use to laugh about everybody that was hangin' out Now you don't talk so loud, now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging your next meal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Oh you've gone through the finest school all right miss lonely But you know you only use to get juiced in it Nobody'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 with a 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 Without a direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone Oh you've never turned around to see the frowns on the Jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you Never understand that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You use 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? Ham 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 all Drinkin',thinkin' that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you better take a diamond ring You better pawn it babe You use to be so amused And Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now he calls ya, ya can't refuse When ya ain't got nothing, ya got nothing to lose You're invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel? Oh how does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone
