A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said "I'm 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 With your face sketched on it twice Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you Darling And I'd still be on my feet, I'd still be on my feet Oh, I'm 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 you told me "Love is touching souls" Surely, you touched mine Part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet Ohw, I could drink a case of you, darling And I'd still be on my feet, I'd still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life 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're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter, you taste so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you I could drink a case of you, darling And I'd still be on my feet I'd still be on my feet

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?" "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 With your face sketched on it twice You're in my blood, you're my 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 Oh 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 ones that ain't afraid I remember the time you told me love was 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, you're my 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 Oh I would still be on my feet I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life 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 You're my 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 Oh I would still be on my feet

What a waste A head case There's nothing I like more than being right But right now, I adore the fight What a night So uptight There's nothing I hate more than you seeing me this way And I'm nothing more than a lump of clay And a change will take place When I learn to embrace the unknown and untested new case I'm just an untested new case What a lie To amplify There's nothing I want more than to say how I feel But I'll just grip on to the steering wheel What a plan A leading man There's nothing I want more than for it all to work out But right now, it's a round-about And a change will take place When I learn to embrace the unknown and untested new case I'm just an untested new case
