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 spinning
And the smiles they've been grinning
There has sure been some sinning
But nobody's winning
When the walls start to crumbling
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 boys 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 train's gone off the tracks
And my wheels are spinnin'
And I've been walkin'
Down a one-way, dirty street
But my heart's not sinking

From the love they've been buying
And the blues they've been crying
Now the time keeps a flying
But nobody's trying
'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
Boys 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

And 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
Boys 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
