[Verse 1]
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue of a TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
You're in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
[Verse 2]
I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
But I'm drawn to those ones that ain't
I remember the time that you told me, you said
"Love is touching souls"
Well, surely you've touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
You're in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still I'd be on my feet
But still be on my feet
[Verse 3]
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils
She knew your deeds
And she said
"Go with it, and stay with it
But be prepared to bleed"
[Chorus]
You're in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
I could drink a case of you
Of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
