Moving like a dancing bear
It's in my blood
Falling down the marble stairs
It's in my blood

Oh my dear, that's the way
I am made, I'm afraid

Those crimson tears
Drip on the floor, drip on the bar
Those crimson tears
Stain what I wore, drip on the bar

Swinging a punch, connect to the eye
It's in my blood
I've got a hunch I should just stay quiet
It's in my blood

Oh my dear, that's the way
I am made, I'm afraid

Those crimson tears
Drip on the bar, drip on the floor
Those crimson tears
Drip on the bar, stain what I wore

    To me this song's about somehow who thinks he's someone that maybe he's not. That he isn't meant for love and that he's just gonna hurt anyone that gets too close.
