Album: Zoom Daddy
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 in the ways of love
(Ways of love are kiss and tell)
A shady past
The financier
Of letter bombs and phony beards
(A smoking gun, a bullet shell)
A cheap disguise for a tender soul
Your coup d'etat
My overthrow
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
(Ways of love are covert plans to infiltrate the everyman)
A camera in a boitoinniere
A poison tip on a wired brassiere
Where loyalties are second-guessed and removed with extreme prejudice
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 the ways of love
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
