The streets outside were stained At the stonewall on June 28th Blood runs cold into the gutters And into the drain There's a fear you can't define There's no peace and there's no crime In living this way So add a bead to your rosary And say a prayer You've got to suffer me Suffer me You got to let me be And keep me outta your fantasy Can you give me that one luxury Yeah yeah yeah As they walked, they locked their stride And the night sticks swung right by their side They jeered and they muttered Yet to be defied By the time the dawn had broke The city coughed and slowly woke And there was one less boot Pressing down on one less throat
