Blood From A Stone

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, no
You can't get blood from a stone

Well I'm a rollin' but my trains 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
