Well I¹ve been walkin
Down a one way dirty street
Tryin to find the answers
And I¹ve been hopin
For a chance to meet
The rat that spread the cancer

And the lies they¹ve been spinnin
And the smiles they¹ve been grinnin
There has sure been some sinnin
But nobody¹s winnin
When the walls start to crumblin
You feel like you¹re stumblin
And nobody wants you when you¹re down

They took the boy from the city
But they can¹t take the city from
the boys lookin¹ pretty
Now he¹s lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can¹t get
You can¹t get blood from a stone
You can¹t get blood from a stone

Well I¹m a rollin
But my train¹s gone off the tracks
and my wheels are spinnin
And I¹m a walkin
Down a one way dirty street
But my heart¹s not sinkin

From the love they¹ve been buyin
And the blues they¹ve been cryin
Now the time keeps a flyin
But nobody¹s tryin
Cause the love of the money
Didn¹t turn out so sunny
When the well¹s dry
No one comes around

They took the boy from the city
But they can¹t take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now he¹s lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can¹t get
You can¹t get from a stone

You can try
But I still got the fight in my eyes
Suck it dry
Cause I¹ve had about enough of your lies

They took the boy from the city
But they can¹t take the city form the
Boys lookin pretty
Now he¹s lookin like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can¹t get blood from a stone

They took the boy form the city
But they can¹t take the city from the
Boys lookin pretty
Now he¹s looking like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can¹t get
You can¹t get blood from a stone
