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

(She came) Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago

(She came) Blood on the rise, it's following me

She came just about the break of day

She came and then she drove away

(She came) Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness

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

(She came) Yeah, the river runs right down the length of the city

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

She came into town and then she drove away

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 fantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers

Blood will be born in the birth of a nation

Blood is the rose of mysterious union

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
