Well I've been walkin'
Down a one way dirty street
Tryin' to find the answers
And I've been hopin'
For a chance to meet

The rat that spread the cancer

And the lies they've been spinnin'
And the smiles they've been grinnin'
There sure has been some sinnin'
But nobody's winnin'
When the walls start to crumblin'
You feel like you're stumblin'
And nobody wants you when you're down

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone

Well I'm a rollin'
But my train's gone off the tracks
And my wheels are spinnin'
And I'm a walkin'
Down a one way dirty street
But my heart's not sinkin'

From the love they've been buyin'
And the blues they've been cryin'
Now the time keeps a flyin'
But nobody's tryin'
Cause the love of the money
Didn't turn out so sunny
When the well's dry
No one comes around

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone

You can try
But I still got the fight in my eyes
Suck it dry
Cause I've had about enough of your lies

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get blood from a stone

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone, no

You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
