Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone Lyrics 18 years ago
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud

Edie Sedgwick used to laugh at everyone else who was hanging out and desperate for drugs, and now she is in the same situation.


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?

I am a bit unsure about this verse. Possibly it means that now she is on the street by herself and can no longer rely on Warhol, she has to resort to sexual favours/prostitution to support herself.


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.

In reference to Warhol, who stripped her of everything, most importantly her dignity, and then left her.


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.

I believe Bob is referring to himself as 'Napoleon in rags'. I think that it's a plea now for Edie to be with him.
