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
