I Had a Bad Experience With the CIA and Now I'm Gonna Show You My Feminine Side

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 phony 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 CIA
 No they wouldn't let me show her my feminine side
 She got busted undercover for the FBI
 She was concealing all her glory and her masculine pride
 It's a covert operation and we're DOA
 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 boutinniere
 A poison tip on a wired brazier
 (ways of love are covert plans)
 Here loyalties are second guessed
 And removed with extreme prejudice
 (to infiltrate the everyman)
 I had a bad experience with the CIA
 And now I'm gonna show you my feminine side
 You got busted undercover for the FBI
 And now you're gonna show me your masculine pride
 It's a covert operation and we're DOA
 On regulated doses of love's cyanide
 The ways of love are a dossier
 Of tramps and thieves and runaways
 A ransom note with a price to pay
 Are the ways of love
 The ways of love are a secret sauce
 Of sacrifice and grievous loss
 A crown of thorns and a double cross
 Are the ways of love
 The ways of love
 The ways of love
 These are the ways of love
