Like a Rolling Stone 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 Everybody 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?2 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 now you realize He’s not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And ask him 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 came 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 diplomat3 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 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?

Post and Sedgwick married in July 1971; she died four months later of an overdose at age 28. ⋘ 2 Like a rolling stone?: Factory Girl (2006) The film’s opening minutes immediately set the stage. Edie’s narration (later revealed to be from a session with a psychiatrist) advises the viewer that she comes from money and believes she’ll die before her 30th birthday. Though the famous folk singer is obviously inspired by Bob Dylan, the threat of a legal suit led the filmmakers to change the character’s name and insist he was a composite character. ⋘ 3 Chrome horse: What is chrome in a horse?
