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 has sure 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 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
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
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

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 form 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 form the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now he's looking like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone
