State Radio – Blood Escaping Man Lyrics 16 years ago
The lyrics are wrong they should be:

closer, she smiles telling not to worry
i said i didn't know and i dont now
but i won't let you fall if you come down
ooh she was waiting on the wine dark sea
with skin and lips of salt
better to give to the, then to all the senators in the hall

and we all for knowing
all that we never know
we're all for knowing
all that we never know

well the suitors been complaining, its a bitter taste of man
i seen them eating and drinking and vying for her hand
(some can hardly stand)
i seen her walking too up the widow's walk
i tell her to keep it on i tell her don't give up
'cause i swear that he's coming
just wait a littlle more time

There's been a dead reckoning with the government
Though they seem to know the plan
they're drawing all their lots to see who's the better man
and then the winner come and grabs her in stride
takes her to bed and makes her their bride
but (i reckon) he gonna come home and see you
makin it with his wife

i've seen the blood escaping man
but do not overlook him if you can
i've seen the blood escaping man
ut do not overlook him
in her heart she holds a candle
that guides her through the night

she came to me in secret and whispered at first light
please madame for all your beauty it's not me you want-
i saw a bum in town who's body it leaves no blood
toady as the suitors come there's a ragged beggar behind

i'd love to be your lover but there's a ragged beggar behind

've seen the blood escaping man
but do not overlook him if you can
i've seen the blood escaping man
ut do not overlook him in your heart
you hold the lights a candle that leads you
underneath the rags
it is your man
