The ways of love weave a tapestry, non-linear threads of mystery,
Revisionist strands of history are the ways of love,
The ways of love blow a cold war wind that kicks you out and brings you in,
We're counterspies and specialty men in the ways of love

A shady past, the financier of letter bombs and phoney beards, (the ways of love are kiss and tell)
A cheap disguise for a tender soul,
Your coup d'e'tat, my overthrow. (a smoking gun, the bullet shell)

I had a bad experience with the C.I.A.,
No, they wouldn't let me show her my feminine side,
She got busted undercover for the F.B.I.,
She was concealing all her glory and her masculine pride,
It's a covert operation, and we're D.O.A. on regulated doses of love's cyanide.

The ways of love are an alchemy of cryptic code and anarchy,
The paragon of a parody are the ways of love,

A camera in a boutonni?re, a poison tip on a wired brazier, (ways of love are covert plans)
Here loyalties are second guessed and removed with extreme prejudice. (infiltrate the everyman)

I had a bad experience with the C.I.A., and now i'm gonna show you my feminine side,
You got busted undercover for the F.B.I., and now you're gonna show me your masculine pride,
It's a covert operation and we're D.O.A. on regulated doses of love's cyanide.

The ways of love. (these are then ways of love)

The ways of love are a dossier of tramps and thieves, and runaways, (these are then ways of love)
A ransom note with a price to pay are the ways of love, (these are then ways of love)
The ways of love are a secret sauce of sacrifice and grievous loss, (these are then ways of love)
A crown of thorns and a double cross are the ways of love, (these are then ways of love)
The ways of love. (these are then ways of love)
