    A coyly seductive ditty, rich in atmospheric layerings and reminiscences of Bryan Ferry's glory days. When the chorus kicks in, it might give you a scare. It's about... it's about... well it's about 4 minutes.

    Story Behind the Song
    "The Way We Love" was the result of my reading
    the late Max Frisch, a Swiss novelist,
    playwright and essayist whose work
    has intrigued me for years. The topics of
    neediness, cowardice and self-deception in
    relationships can be found in most of his
    stuff, but in fact the motivation for the
    song came from his (in Europe) most famous
    book, "Stiller."

    Lyrics
    The Way We Love

    Am I afraid to die,
    Afraid to live, afraid to move?
    I’m gonna sit right here,
    Right in this chair,
    What does that prove?
    I’ve fallen for a lie I can’t decline?
    I’m not that kind

    Who’s that girl of mine
    Afraid to dance, afraid to feel?
    Sitting in that chair,
    A void inside as cold as steel
    Cold eyes to snare,
    We got cold needs to bind
    I’m not that blind

    Ooh-- this is the way we love
    This is the way we love
    This is the way we love, way we love
    Way we love
    This is the way we love
    Cat and mouse and dove
    Caresses with a boxing glove
    The way we love, the way we love...

    Is there a last resort
    A last retreat, a last reprieve
    For such unbending souls,
    For craving hearts as cold as these?
    Too cold to bear, I
    I become a lie
    I’m not that guy

    This is the way, etc.
