There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles There's blood in the streets, it's up to my knee There's blood in the streets in the town of Chicago Blood on the rise, it's following me Think about the break of day She came and then she drove away Sunlight in her hair Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh Yeah the river runs down the legs of the city The women are crying red rivers of weepin' She came into 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 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 phantastic L.A. Blood streams 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 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
