Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant the 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 a blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
With your face sketched on it twice.
You're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet.  
Oh, I could drink a case of you.
I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet.

I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints.
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those who ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me,
you said love is touching souls;
Surely you touched mine 'cause
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.
You're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet.
Oh, I could drink a case of you.
I would still be on my feet.
I would still be on my feet.

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your lies,
She knew your devils and your deeds and she said
Go to him, stay with him if you can,
But be prepared to bleed.
You're 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.
