lyrics

haunted by my lover's head
the mouth I kissed now floats and foams
I began to weep as her lips ceased to speak
& now the blood that sheds through thirst is shown
so I bottled my tears for fifteen years
yes, that's the way love goes
& the hope filled my eyes and I cried and they cried
yeah , every night the head bemoaned

so they unearthed her bones & I carried them home
yes, that's the way love goes

& so I washed those age-old bones
as I cried & they cried the head softly moaned
& with the desperation of a handless thief
I stole the hope from my gone lover's eyes
& the bones, they danced about the room
& then turned gold just like the moon
I say, the bones, they danced all around the room
& then turned gold just like the moon,

but we all know the moon's not made of gold
O, that's the way love goes
we know it's made of cheese

love is made of cheese
