"Blood, Milk and Sky" is a song off the Astro-Creep: 2000 album by White Zombie which was used as a promo single in 1996. The song title refers to a Maasai, an African nomadic people, tradition in which cow blood and curdled milk is consumed during special occasions. This is supported by the tribal chanting at the beginning of the song which is being played backwards along with the use of instruments being played. The lyrics describe one lusting for love who is drawn to the call of a siren, a mythical creature who lures unsuspecting victims to their demise. The chanting heard in the middle and at the end of the song are also a reference to the siren's song. The album version is accompanied by the instrumental "Where The Sidewalk Ends, The Bug Parade Begins" after the silence at the end of the song. Also, a remix version of this song can be found on the EP Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. A music video was intended to be made, but the band split up before this could be accomplished.

In 2000, the song was covered by the Moravian ethno metal band Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy for the White Zombie tribute album Super-Charger Hell.
