I wanna send you there
Where the saints don't dare to beg for salvation
I want a grave that's there
Where the fog creeps over the cliff into the ocean
Ah - ah
Ah - ah

My soul longs for you
Though the sky is dead since you slept in his bed
My rage to sing this song
Is makin' me sane boils the blood in my veins

How come I love the sad songs?
How come I love you still?
How come I love the sad songs?
How come I love you still?

Wagnerian dreams of lamentation
Solitary screams of exaltation
A craving for the haven that is on no maps
A melody of death that makes my world collapse!

How come I love the sad songs?
How come I love you still?
How come I love the sad songs?
How come I love you still?
Oh - oh - oh, ah - ah - ah
Ah - ah - ah, ah - ah - ah
Ah - ah - ah, ah - ah - ah
Oh - oh - oh
