Like a Rolling Stone - Live at Sony Music Studios, New York, NY - November 1994
Lyrics
Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People call, say beware doll, you're bound to fall You thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging around for your next meal How does it feel, how does it feel To be without a home, with no direction home? Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone You've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely, but you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street And you find now you're gonna have to get used to it You say you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He's not selling any alibis 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 without a home, with no direction home? A complete unknown Like a rolling stone And you never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns When they all get down to do 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 a chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discovered that He really wasn't where it's at? After he's taken everything that he could steal How does it feel, how does it feel To be without a home, with no direction home? Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Princess on a steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made Exchanging all precious gifts and things But you better take your diamond ring down and 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, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home, with no direction home? Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Thank you
