I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constantly in
If you want me, I'll be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
With your face sketched on it twice
You were in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darlin'
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter,
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil,
I remember that time you told me,
you said, love is touching souls
part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you were in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
she had a mouth like yours,
she knew your devils and your deeds, and she said,
go to him, stay with him if you can,
but be prepared to bleed.
Oh, you were in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
