Lyrics

The widows of a lifetime keep a warning in their eye
The widows of a lifetime can do anything but cry
They never stop bleeding

[The] Pervert in the bushes and the dope-fiend on the street
They've got one thing in common:  They're all crying out for meat
They never stop bleeding
They never stop bleeding

I'm sorry for the future and I'm sorry for the past
I'm sorry for the sailor who is lashed before the mast
They never stop bleeding

Now you can bleed internally or you can bleed outside
The groom is always edgy when he's standing with the bride
They never stop bleeding
They never stop bleeding

<Alternates>
The groom is always edgy when he's blushing with the bride  12a
