There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles.
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knees.
There's blood in the street, the town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise, it's followin' me.
Just about the break of day.
She came in town, and then she drove away,
Sunlight in her hair.
Blood on the streets runs a river of sadness.
Blood in the streets, it's up to my thighs.
The river runs down the leg of the city.
The women are crying red rivers of weeping.
She came in town, and then she drove away,
Sunlight in her hair.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding,
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, egg-shell mind.
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven.
Blood stains the roofs and the palm tress of Venice.
Blood in my love in the terrible summer.
b***** red sun of fantastic L.A.
Blood screams her brain as 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.
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knees.
There's blood in the street, the town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise, it's followin' me.
I found my own true love was on a blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me I was the only
One in the world.
Now I have found my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender time.
My girl is mine,
She is the world,
She is my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender time.
My girl is mine,
She is the world,
She is my girl.
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knees.
There's blood in the street, the town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise, it's followin' me.
