Universal Donor

Good Morning

I miss you

I'm leaving my blood in San Francisco, to wit

Only the purest life giving fluid

Full of immense hope

From a country girl

burning at the end of her rope

Universal donor, here I come

giving it all away just for fun

just another day for me to believe

I make a difference as I bereave

the state of the planet is a bloody mess

So stick my arm as I confess

I've been in love with your prince

Of darkness and ghosts

He's the drug I love the most

But my blood is clean

I've not had a drop to drink

Not a smoke, a pill or an IV

I'm coming to give Oh negative

I'm donating to the universe

So you can live

Take my blood, San Francisco

for I left my heart in the valley at the Rickshaw Disco
