There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles

(She came) blood in the streets, it's up to my knee

(She came) blood in the streets, the town of Chicago

(She came) 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, run a river of sadness

(She came) blood in the streets, it's up to my thigh

(She came) yeah, the river runs red down the legs of the city

(She came) the women are crying red rivers of weepin'

She came in town and then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleedin'

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice

Blood in my love in the terrible summer

Bloody red sun of fantastic LA

Blood screams her brain, they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born in the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles

Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee

Blood in the streets, the town of Chicago

Blood on the rise, it's following me
