The Tragi-comedy of Love

Love is comic
Anarchic and anomic
Love is hilarious
So funny, so precarious
 
Love is tragic
Grotesque and anthropophagic
Love’s Grand Guignol
With a mad king and mad queen role
 
Angels laugh
When two lovers kiss 
And suddenly their hearts beat faster
Demons laugh
When the whole show turns to
Horror and to disaster
 
Is it catharsis?
Is that really what this farce is?
How can we know?
On with this tragic vaudeville show!

Needs a chorus. Let me see if I can come up with something.

How about

I'm in a love cult,
A love cult, a love cult
I'm in a love cult
It's a mystery
I'm in a love cult,
A love cult, a love cult
I'm in a love cult
Come make love with me

Not sure about the beehives, but you can dance to it. Orgiastically.
