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 (8x
