lyrics

The first day the bottle was green
The next day it was blue
The pot of gold across the creek
Hung round my neck like you

Buttercups melted in the air
The angles were all true
And when the boys said they were willin'
I was willin' to

You were not the best around
We were the least that we could do
But since you shot the pillow down
The bible's quoting you

Catherine built the wheel she rolled
Barbara had her eye on you
Do you bristle bright like Sebastian?
Does the bell toll just for you?

Constantine, constantly
Can't escape the ice
Can't you see
Turn him in and
Cash her out
Take your mark off me
Constantine

The willing boys take butter now
And cups of air from you
The melted angles of this hell
Test my will and yours too

The first green bottle held a lot
Pushed back the wind that blew
In stormy times I held the pot
In the creek while gold ran through

Constantine, constantly
Can't escape the ice
Can't you see
Turn him in
Cash her out and
Make your mark on me
Constantine
