"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 TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
And I sketched your face on it twice

You are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I'd 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
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that 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 are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I'd still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
