Oh, you've been surprised again

Pulled like a leaf to the waterfall

Everybody's just pretending

I thought that you'd learn by now



Ooh, think about it one more time

What have you got when the god is gone

Clouds don't have a silver lining

And all you ever get is rain



'Cause you can't get blood from a stone

You can't open the door if there's nobody home

They've taken it all so just leave me alone

You can't get blood from a stone



It isn't once upon a time

When nobody falls and the hero flies

That victims got to fit the crime

And nobody goes down with you

You, you!



'Cause you can't get blood from a stone

You can't open the door if there's nobody home

They've taken it all so just leave me alone

You can't get blood from a stone

No, no



'Cause you can't get blood from a stone

You can't open the door if there's nobody home

They've taken it all so just leave me alone

No, you can't get blood from a stone



No blood from a stone

Go on and leave me alone

And I know it's a shock

To learn that you can't

You can't, you can't get blood from a rock
