Blood from a Stone Lyrics by Deep Purple

Now What?!

2013

[Verse 1]
In the shadow of the hole, where my door used to be
You never give up, you want more out of me
Come on in, help yourself
Scratch around, look at these empty shelves
There's nothing else that I can see
Except a string of beads in some old potpourri
[Chorus]
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
[Bridge]
Ooh, you left me nothing
Oh, I don't care
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You rip flesh from the bone
You suck blood from a stone
[Organ Solo Outro]
