[Verse 1]
Lipstick on my coffee cup
Your shade on a paper rim
You said my name in a half-time hush
Then you disappeared again
Rhythm in my restless hands
Tappin’ on this table wood
Every beat another question
’Bout a hurt I never understood
[Chorus]
I feel you in my veins like a slow
Slow flood
Crawlin’ through my heart
Stirrin’ up that mud
You’re my hard-luck habit
My poison and my cure
Lipstick love
Delta blues
I keep comin’ back for more (oh, more)
[Verse 2]
You dance when that violin cries
Eyes shut
Swayin’ out of time
Laugh like you don’t owe a dime
Leave me payin’ for every line
Your touch
It was a crooked hymn
Holy
Then it cut me deep
Now every night this river wind
Sings your name when I can’t sleep
[Chorus]
I feel you in my veins like a slow
Slow flood
Crawlin’ through my heart
Stirrin’ up that mud
You’re my hard-luck habit
My poison and my cure
Lipstick love
Delta blues
I keep comin’ back for more
[Bridge]
Maybe I should let you go
(yeah) let this fever break
But the rhythm pulls me under
Like the river takes the wake
[Chorus]
I feel you in my veins like a slow
Slow flood
Crawlin’ through my heart
Stirrin’ up that mud
You’re my hard-luck habit
My poison and my cure
Lipstick love
Delta blues
I keep comin’ back for more
[Outro]
Lipstick love
Delta blues
In my veins
Still you move (mmm)
