'How does it feel?' It feels like $2 million bucks for Bob Dylan lyrics.

The handwritten lyrics to Bob Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' sold at a Sotheby's auction for a smidge over $2 million, setting a record for song lyrics, besting The Beatles' 'A Day in the Life,' which had previously sold for $1.2 million.

Dylan wrote the lyrics to the 1965 song on stationary from the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington, DC, and include words and phrases that never ended up in the final cut, including "Al Capone" and "dry vermouth, you'll tell the truth."

The song, which makes little sense lyrically except to rhyme various phrases like a kindergartner on a Sesame Street binge, was ranked as the #1 all-time song by Rolling Stone Magazine in 2010.
