Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's 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
[Verse 2]
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
[Verse 3]
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 red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'
[Verse 4]
She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
[Verse 5]
Indians scattered on dawn's highway, bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, eggshell mind
[Verse 6]
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.
[Verse 7]
Blood screams her brain, they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I found my own true love was
On a blue Sunday
She looked at me
And told me
I was the only
One in the world
Now I have found my girl
[Verse 10]
My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world
She is my girl
[Verse 11]
La, la, la, la
[Verse 12]
My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world
She is my girl
