Will this pain ever subside, will this grief ever disappear
Can I ever survive, with this loss of a soul
Will this misery ever fade, can I obtain life without pain
Can I ever evade, this tragic loss that died in vain
Loss of a life so dear to me
I bleed with every breath
Loss of a life so clearly, defines the truth of life and death
Loss of a life so painful
I bleed with every moment
Loss of a life so tearful, designs my void of emptiness
Will this death ever pass me by, or effect me eternally
Can I ever escape this force of instability
Will this severance ever falter, or fall from the hands of fate
Can I ever eliminate, remnants of his dying state
Loss of a life so dear to me
I bleed with every breath
Loss of a life so clearly, defines the truth of life and death
Loss of a life so painful
I bleed with every moment
Loss of a life so tearful, designs my void of emptiness
Please forgive me for not being there
I would die to show you, how much I care
Your presence, so very missed, I shall never forget
The bond that we shared, I will never forget
Loss of a life so dear to me
You're now free of misery
Loss of a life so clearly, defines the pain inside of me
Loss of a life so painful
I will always grieve the time we shared
Loss of a life so tearful, in honor I cry to show you I care
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way out of this
Her diary, it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head,
I know I was wrong
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned in to a scream.
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen.
I don't know where you came from
And I dont know where you've gone.
Old friends become old strangers
Between darkness and the dawn
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
I still hear you saying
"All of life is chance,
And is sweetest,is sweetest when at a glance"
But I live,
I live a hundred lifetimes in a day.
But I die a little
In every breath I take.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
I listen to a whisper,
Slowly drift away.
Silence is a loudest,
Parting word you never say.
I put I put your world
Into my reins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains.
Amen omen,will I see your face again?
Amen omen,can I find the place within
To live my life without you?
He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up out of there ran for hundreds of miles...
He made it to the ocean
Had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knees
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings - "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh! He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE! Oh...
He floated back down cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well fuckers... he still stands.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away...
The love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE!
He's FLYING!
An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of your time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love tears of fear
Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
Oh Lord why
The angels fall first?
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La
Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ
I'll never understand the meaning of the right
Ignorance lead me into the light
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of your time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love tears of fear
Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
Oh Lord why
The angels fall first?
Sing me a song
Of your beauty
Of your kingdom
Let the melodies of your harps
Caress those whom we still need
Yesterday we shook hands
My friend
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
My guardian
La mitica Carnival Of Souls dei Saviour Machine.....SACRA E MISTICA...
-Carnival Of Souls
Unto the Gods I call your name
The crucifixion of my brain
As I wait for you
Into the field, I've lost my way
I've opened veins just for the day
As I wait for you
The thoughts that linger in my head
They cry out for the dead
As they wait for you
Call my name, Call my name
Into the Carnival of Souls
Surrendered to the fight
They dance upon the edge
They dance upon the night
To wake up in the dark
And find they've lost their way
Their way back to the door
Their way back to the light
I've opened doors, I've opened minds
I've opened yours a thousand times
As I wait for you
I've fought the battle from the start
I've opened sores inside my heart
It bleeds without remorse
The thought that linger in my heard
They cry out for the dead
As they wait for you
Call my name, Call my name
Into the Carnival of Souls
Surrendered to the fight
They dance upon the edge
They dance upon the night
To wake up in the dark
And find they've lost their way
Their way back to the door
Their way back to the light
"The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But on, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."
She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World
That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon
Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog
They raped left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog
Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer
She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"
Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"
And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...
The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice
A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin
And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...
Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog
And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog
Eat your beets, recycle...recycle...
Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle
The message is; 'THERE IS NO MESSAGE'
Babe, you better not ever think,
Staring into the drink...get out of my mind...
Cause I may not be the one to say,
is there no other way we could do this another day?
I saw God.
She said...'If you don't believe me, guaranteed you'll never leave me'
On your way, and out of my time
But I didn't even know if it was true or just a result of chemicals
Shut up and think of something more important to say...
'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' Something or nothing a whole either way it's a way,
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way
EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way
EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY
It's like your birthday, it's on Earth Day,
Like a child you're born again, little child you're bored again...
It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day...
Little lies to cover up...please make your mind up
(Eat your beets, Recycle...recycle...)
(...Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle)
Man Overboard (I'm so far away)
Man overboard (I'm so far...)
But fuck it! ...I really don't care
Fuck! Listen to me! Just shut the fuck up!
Peace, Love, Joy
Man overboard (I'm so far...)
Hate, hell, war
Hate, love, love, hate, love, hate...destruction!
So just shut your face and take a seat
Because after all, you're just talking meat...and music?
Well, it's just entertainment folks.
Sometimes I think that I really have something moreto say...
'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' ...forgive me for saying it blows either way, it's a
way,
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way...
It's your birthday, it's on Earth Day,
Like a child you're born again, little child you're cold again...
It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day
Little child your time is up...please turn the heat up
You need your beets, you recycle...
...Don't eat your beets...recycle...
Queen - Sail away sweet sister (to the sister i never had)
Hey little babe you're changing, babe are you feeling sore?
It ain't no use in pretending, you don't wanna play no more
It's plain that you ain't no baby, what would your mother say?
You're all dressed up like a lady, how come you behave this way?
Sail away sweet sister, sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody, to love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you, no matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister, I'll always be in love with you
Forgive me for what I told you, my heart makes a fool of me
You know that I'll never hold you, I know that you gotta be free
Sail away sweet sister, sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody, to love you half as much as me
Take it the way you want it, but when they let you down my friend
Sail away sweet sister, back to my arms again
Hot child don't you know you're young, you got your whole life ahead of you?
And you can throw it away too soon... Way too soon... Ahh, Ahh, Ahhhh
Sail away sweet sister, sail across the sea
Maybe you'll find somebody's, gonna love you half as much as me
My heart is always with you, no matter what you do
Sail away sweet sister, I'll always be in love with you
Quattro e mezza di mattino
per la radio sono troppo triste
e il dj non mi parlerà
sembra avere tutto così chiaro questo scemo
sembra sempre una sola la realtà
che qui non ho diritto
di non essere felice
di non sentirmi vivo
nella mediocrità
che mi propini
se volessi modificherei il mio viso
e ripartirei da zero
ma sarebbe come arrendersi
a quello che non sono
e non sentirsi libero
di non essere felice
di non sentirmi vivo
di non accontentarmi
nella mediocrità
che mi propini
perché non posso dirti
di non essere felice?
non sono meno vivo
non sono meno vivo
Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her nose were slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well
It took a starry to steal my breath away
Down on the water front
Her hair all drenched in spray
Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me
Stuck right in my brain
You're just a memory of a love
That used to be
You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Well she's one of a kind
She's got a mind
She got a mind of her own
And she use it mighty fine
She drove a pick-up truck
Painted green and blue
The tires were wearing thin
She turned a mile or two
When I asked her where she headed for
"Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar"
I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves are shot already
The road ain't all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone
I keep on a feeling that's gnawing in my bones
You're just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
You're just a memory girl
You're just a sweet memory
And it used to mean so much to me
Sha la la la la
She got a mind of her own
And she use it well
Mighty fine, she's one of a kind
On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze
We've been ten thousand miles
Been in fifteen states
Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried
What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor
It's just some friends of mine
And they're busting down the door
Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel
On the edge of the rainbow
Where eagles learn to fly
All of our dreams, they seemed so clear
Into the morning
Into the light of dawn
We're flying higher than before
And when I see the light
that's shining from your eyes
Even brighter than before
We're riding the wind
to reach the golden dawn
We have done it all before
Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears
Sometimes I wonder
You're so close but you're so far
Seems life will never be the same
Sigh for the morning
To find the light of day
Dream of fortune fades away
Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears
Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake...
Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
All the tears that I've cried
For the love of my life
As I sailed the lake of tears
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears
"... L'affanno è latente, tesoro
come il tempo che ondeggia in mezzo a noi
corrode le buffe difese che alziamo
L'affanno è potente, tesoro
è il tempo che non dominerai
trapassa le goffe pretese che abbiamo..."
Vale come pietoso sollievo
il silenzio che ti parlerà?
Che tu solo lo sappia per vero:
sono muto per difficoltà
Te lo canto, il mio sollievo
è il silenzio che ci parlerà
Che tu solo lo sappia per vero:
tutto qua
"...La gioia è una bolla, tesoro
ci gonfia di ebbra ingenuità
poi scoppia e si perde dovunque nel tempo
La gioia è una stella, tesoro
sempre tu la vagheggerai
perse le forze nel tuo lamento..."
The mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said “i been where i liked
i slept with who i like
she ate me up for breakfast
and screwed me in a vice
but now i don't know why
i feel so tongue-tied”
i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down real neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used in a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
and i don't know why
i feel so tongue-tied
i don't know why
i feel so skinned alive
my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
i twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home
or you should put me down
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
now no one likes a smart ass
but we all like stars
but that wasn't my intention
i did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
but i don't know why
i feel so tongue-tied
Muore la forma il verbo ed il sapore
muore il desiderio, la voglia e lo stupore
muore l'idea di me che c'è nella tua mente
perciò è meglio che tu non pensi a niente
Mentre ti uccido l'anima
mentre ti uccido
mentre ti uccido l'anima
proprio come tutto il resto ha fatto già
I geniali progetti che sono tutti uguali
ed i geniali discorsi diventano banali
ma la cosa strana della nostra vita
è che scivola fra le nostre dita
Mentre ci uccide l'anima
mentre ci uccide
Mentre ci uccide l'anima
proprio come tutto il resto fa
E' facile andare senza guardarci in faccia
che al 90% anche noi siamo fatti d'acqua
mi ricordo la rabbia che hai disintegrato
e ancora non sò se ti è piaciuto
Mentre uccidevi l'anima
mentre uccidevi
Mentre uccidevi l'anima
proprio come tutto il resto ha fatto già
Sto aspettando da un po' che una guida arrivi e mi prenda per mano,
Potrebbero queste sensazioni farmi sentire le gioie di un uomo normale?
Queste sensazioni mi incuriosiscono appena per un altro giorno [ovvero: "nell'arco di un altro giorno della mia vita"],
Ho un'anima, ma perdo sensibilità, reprimo le emozioni.
Si fa più veloce, si muove più veloce adesso, è quasi fuori controllo,
E' al decimo piano, giù per le scale di servizio, è una terra di nessuno,
Le luci balenano ["lampeggiano", se volete, ma ci vuole un'idea di intermittenza simile ad un lampo che non so con che parola rendere in Italiano], la macchine si scontrano, è un'abitudine adesso,
Ho un'anima, ma perdo sensibilità, in qualche modo la getto fuori.
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.
Ciò che importa per te, ciò che importa per me, e ci rivedremo,
Ti sto guardando, sto guardando lei, non voglio essere compatito dai tuoi amici,
Chi è nel giusto, chi può giudicare, e chi cavolo se ne frega,
Finché la nuova sensazione dell'animo prende il controllo, e allora saprai,
Finché la nuova sensazione dell'animo prende il controllo, e allora saprai,
Finché la nuova sensazione dell'animo prende il controllo, e allora saprai,
Ho un'anima, ma sto perdendo sensibilità,
Ho un'anima, ma sto perdendo sensibilità,
Sensibilità, sensibilità, sensibilità, sensibilità, sensibilità, sensibilità.
Sono fuori come una cometa
sono la sua polvere inquieta.
Sono fuori un hoffman più di ieri:
mi ricordo me stessa l'altro ieri
Sono dentro la telefonata, sono fata,
sono qui ma sono andata-non tornata
voglio parlare con chi eri
quel giorno che vivevo i tuoi pensieri
Tipo mi dice che sono scema
Chicca si sdruscia sulla schiena
Piango e poi rido più di prima
Tipo ammicca a una luna assai cretina
Danzo nuotandoti nell'aria intorno
in nebbia ritorno e mi trasformo
Vago. Tu chiamami "cometa"
dolce, fattissimo poeta
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Lasciati chiamare altri cento e un giorno
lascia che ti biascichi che ho sonno
che sono spenti i miei occhi traslocati
che sono chiusi ma se ne sono andati
che son seduta su un vomito di maga
che c'è una festa ma è altro che mi smaga
che sono a casa di chi mi ha ospitata ma
che sono in viaggio del tutto allucinata
Lascia che ti dica che sto male
lasciami e continua a non parlare
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
Vacate is the word... vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear... vessel stabbed... next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
A truant finds home... and I wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in the sun... immortality...
As privileged as a whore... victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered... executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
A truant finds home... and I wish to hold on, too...
But saw the trapdoor in the sun...
Immortality...
I cannot stop the thought... I'm running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign... all good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom... auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on... cannot stay long
Some die just to live...
Ohh...
Slint - Breadcrumb Trail - Sentiero di Briciole di Pane
Mi avviai per la via maestra. Stavo cercando la nave pirata quando vidi a un lato questa piccola e vecchia tenda. Era blu, e luci bianche stavano appese tutt'intorno. Decisi di ispezionare la tenda, mi sembrava di sentire musica proveniente dal suo interno.
Mentre mi avvicinavo, superai una folla di persone davanti all'entrata secondaria. Non mi capacitavo del perché attendessero, in fila. Spinsi da un lato il drappo del tendone. C'erano una sfera di cristallo sul tavolo, e dietro di essa, una ragazza con un cappello. Sorrise, e mi chiese se volessi farmi predire il futuro. Dissi di sì, e mi sedetti. Ci pensai per un po', e le chiesi se non preferisse invece andare sulle montagne russe.
Strisciare in alto, verso il cielo. Fermarsi in cima e cominciare a scendere. La ragazza mi afferrò la mano, che io strinsi, forte. Diedi l'arrivederci al terreno.
Giù, lontano, un uomo sudicio. Una manciata di biglietti strappati ai suoi piedi [è chiaramente il "ticket-taker" di cui si parla più avanti: l'uomo strappa-biglietti].
Guarda i bambini corrergli accanto. E si pulisce i denti con le dita. La testa inizia a girarmi, vorticosamente. Urlai, e scrutai il cielo in cerca d'aiuto. Sentii l'indovina che gridava dietro di me. Stendemmo le braccia ["to stick out" significa letteralmente "proiettare verso l'esterno (qualcosa)"] e andammo incontro ai venti.
La ragazza inciampa mentre scende dalla piattaforma. Si tiene lo stomaco e comincia a vomitare. L'uomo strappa-biglietti sorride, e l'ultima carrozza [delle montagne russe] è pronta. Chi vi ha detto che ve ne potete andare?
Il sole stava tramontando quando ce ne andammo. Camminammo per la distesa deserta, soli. Eravamo stanchi, ma riuscimmo a sorridere. Al cancello diedi la buonanotte all'indovina. L'insegna del luna park gettava ombre colorate sulla sua faccia, ma potrei giurare che lei stava arrossendo.
Serve che specifichi autore e titolo della canzone? ....
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.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
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 come 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 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
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?
