You're invisible now. You got no secrets to conceal.

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'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?


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 (...)
 
 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?
