Johnny Thunders 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 that 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.
Will tell me how does it feel
Will tell me how does it feel
To be without a 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 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.
Chorus
