  • Artist Info: When the earth was still flat<br />
    And the clouds made of fire<br />
    And mountains stretched up to the sky<br />
    Sometimes higher<br />
    Folks roamed the earth<br />
    Like big rolling kegs<br />
    They had two sets of arms<br />
    They had two sets of legs<br />
    They had two faces peering<br />
    Out of one giant head<br />
    So they could watch all around them<br />
    As they talked while they read<br />
    And they never knew nothing of love<br />
    <br />
    It was before...<br />
    The origin of love<br />
    <br />
    And there were three sexes then<br />
    One that looked like two men<br />
    Glued up back to back<br />
    Called the children of the sun<br />
    And similar in shape and girth<br />
    Were the children of the earth<br />
    They looked like<br />
    Two girls rolled up in one<br />
    And the children of the moon<br />
    Was like a fork shoved on a spoon<br />
    They were part sun, part earth<br />
    Part daughter, part son<br />
    <br />
    The origin of love<br />
    <br />
    Now the gods grew quite scared<br />
    Of our strength and defiance<br />
    And Thor said,<br />
    "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer,<br />
    Like I killed the giants"<br />
    But Zeus said, "No-<br />
    You better let me<br />
    Use my lightning like scissors<br />
    Like I cut the legs off the whales<br />
    Dinosaurs into lizards"<br />
    Then he grabbed up some bolts<br />
    He let out a laugh<br />
    Said, "I'll split them right down the middle<br />
    Gonna cut them right up in half"<br />
    And then storm clouds gathered above<br />
    Into great balls of fire<br />
    <br />
    And then fire shot down<br />
    From the sky in bolts<br />
    Like shining blades of a knife<br />
    And it ripped right through the flesh<br />
    Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth<br />
    And some Indian god<br />
    Sewed the up into a hole<br />
    Pulled it round to our belly<br />
    To remind us of the price we pay<br />
    And Osiris and the gods of the Nile<br />
    Gathered up a big storm<br />
    To blow a hurricane<br />
    To scatter us away<br />
    In a flood of wind and rain<br />
    A sea of tidal waves<br />
    To wash us all away<br />
    And if we don't behave<br />
    They'll cut us down again<br />
    And we'll be hopping 'round on one foot<br />
    And looking through one eye<br />
    <br />
    Last time I saw you<br />
    We had just split in two<br />
    You were looking at me<br />
    I was looking at you<br />
    You had a way so familiar<br />
    But I could not recognize<br />
    'Cause you had blood on your face<br />
    I had blood in my eyes<br />
    But I could swear by your expression<br />
    That the pain down in your soul<br />
    Was the same as the one down in mine<br />
    That's the pain<br />
    That cuts a straight line down through the heart<br />
    We call it love<br />
    We wrapped our arms around each other<br />
    Tried to shove ourselves back together<br />
    We were making love<br />
    Making love<br />
    It was a cold, dark evening<br />
    Such a long time ago<br />
    When by the mighty hand of Jove<br />
    It was the sad story how we became<br />
    Lonely two-legged creatures<br />
    It's the story of the origin of love<br />
    That's the origin of love<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    Best story ever ^
