It took twenty years to find out
I lost my way to your heart
Took plenty tears to cry out
We have grown apart
It was hard for me to write this song
Will be hard for you to sing a long
Sounds like howling at the moon
Oh, the moon
Oh, the moon
Milk breast the pillow chest
Mothers' milk did taste the best
Mothers are no ordinary women
They are sacred, they are blessed
Once you find out she's only human too
It's scary to know she could be that cruel
Feels like howling at the moon
Oh, the moon
Oh, the moon
I thought for sure she knew before
In glazed houses never slam the door
Image of my archetype
Broken after her suicide
Intimacy was eternal bliss
Now it's just a Judas kiss
Remain in debt, maintain her pride
Only talk about the sunny side
And I'm still howling at the moon
