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, the town of Chicago. 
Blood on the rise, it`s following me. 
Just about the break of day. 
She came, 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 thigh. 
The river runs down the legs of the city; 
The women are crying red rivers of weeping. 
She came in town and then she went away, 
sunlight in her hair. 
Indians scattered on dawn`s highway. 
Bleeding ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind. 
Blood in the streets of 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 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, the town of Chicago. 
Blood on the rise, it`s following me.
