Blood from a Stone

In the shadow of the whole

Where my door used to be

You never give up, you want more out of me

Come on in, help yourself

Scratch around over these empty shelves

There’s nothing else that I can see except a string of these in some old bowery

You rip flesh from a bone

You sip blood from a stone

I will consider a life of crime

So I can feed these kids of mine

And should I fall down, should I fail

I’ll spend the rest of my days in some stinking jail

I won’t know who left me to your side

Stripped of my dignity low and dry

You rip flesh from a bone

You sip blood from a stone

Uh that’s damn nothing

Uh, I don’t care

You rob me blind without a gun

How can you sleep after what you’ve done?

There’s nothing but darkness deep in your soul

There’s no reflection, it’s dark and it’s cold

You rip flesh from a bone

You sip blood from a stone

You rip flesh from a bone

You sip blood from a stone
