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 streets
in the town of Chicago
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
There's blood in the streets
a river of sadness
There's blood in the streets
it's up to my thigh
The river runs down the leg of the city
Grown women crying and rivers a weeping
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Blood in the streets
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 L.A.
Blood spills the brain and chops off my finger
Blood will be bringing 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 streets
the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
it's following me
