Hey 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

Think 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 a’weepin

She came into town and

then she drove away

Sunlight in her hair

These four lines are spoken:

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 phantasmic L.A.

Blood screams her brain as

they chop off her fingers

Blood’ll be born in

the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

Yeah, 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
