Seal — Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine You even threw the bums a dime in your prime Didn't you? People called and say beware doll you're bound to fall But you, you thought they were all Kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging it out Now you don't, you don't talk so loud And look at you 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 Now, you've gone to the finest school, all right, miss lonely But you know you only used to get Juiced in it Well nobody ever taught you how to live on the street And now you found out you're gonna have to get Used to it Oh but you said that you never compromise With the mistery tramp but now you, now you realize He's not selling, he's not selling any alibi's As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say to him: "Mister, can you 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 their tricks for you And you never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your Kicks for you Well, you used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard, it is so hard when you discover that That he wasn't really where it's at After he took from you everything He could steal How does it feel? How does it feel? To hang on your home With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Well listen now Princess on the steeple And all the pretty people They're drinking, thinking that they That they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you'd better take a diamond ring And you'd better, 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 and you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose 'Cause you are invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal Well now How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Look at you Like a rolling stone Like a rolling stone Like a rolling stone Like a rolling stone Like a rolling stone How does it feel? Like a rolling stone Like a rolling stone
