There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles,
(she came) There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knee.
(she came) There's blood in the streets the town of Chicago,
(she came) There's blood on the rise it's following me.
Just about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair.
(she came) Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
(she came) Blood in the streets its up to my thigh.
(she came) The river runs down the legs of the city
(she came) The women are crying red rivers of weeping.
She came to town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding,
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
Blood on the streets of the town of New Haven,
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees in Venice.
Blood in my love in the terrible summer,
Bloody red sun of Phantastic LA.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers.
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation.
Blood is the rose of mysterious union.
Blood in the streets it's up to my ankles,
Blood in the streets it's up to my knee.
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago,
Blood on the rise it's following me.
