Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
He should have quit before he had written the address
They made love on the mezzanine her husband was his friend
Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing
That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words
[Verse 2]
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love
[Verse 3]
Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive
But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive
Their rendezvous was singular her husband was his friend
She is a living fire, she is a reason to live
She is killing me, burning only for him
I'll spend my whole life loving her, my heart exploding words
[Verse 4]
Our love surpassed, our love so fast
Our love's all wrong, our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love, our love, our love
[Verse 5]
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love, our love, our love
Our love, our love, our love, our love
