And the clouds made of fire
And moutains stretched up to the sky somtimes higher
Folks roamed the Earth like big rolling kegs they had
2 sets of arms, they had 2 sets of legs, they had
2 faces peering out of one giant head so they could
Watch all around them as they
Talked while they read and they never
Knew nothing of love
It was before ooh ooh
The origin of love
(Origin of love)
The origin of love
(Origin of love)
Now there were 3 sexes then
One that looked liek 2 men glued up back to back
Called the chidren on the Sun
And similar shape and girth was the children of the Earth
They looked like 2 girls rolled up in 1
And the children of teh Moon was like a fork shoved on a spoon
They was part Sun part Earth part daughter part son
Ahahahah
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared of our
Strength and defiance and Thor said
"I'm gunna kill them all with my hammer, like I killed the giants."
But the Zeus said no "No, You better let me , use my lightening like scissors, like I cut the legs of the whales and dinosaurs into lizards."
And then he grabbed up some bolts
He let out a laugh he said "I'll split them right down the middle, gunna cut them right up in half."
And then storm close gathered above
Into great balls of fire
And then fire, shot down from the sky in bolts
Like shinning blades of a knife
And i ripped right through the flesh
Of the children of the Sun and the Moon and the Earth
And some Indian god sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it 'round to our belly to remind us of the price we pay
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurrican, to scatter us away
In a flood of wind and rain
And a sea of tidal waves, to wash us all away
And if we don't behave' They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping 'round on one foot
Looking through one eye
(Short Musical Interlude)
The last time I saw you, we just split in 2
You was looknig at me, I was looking at you]
You had a way so familiar, but I could not recognize
Cause you had blood on your face, I had blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul was the same
As the one down in mine
That's the pain, that cuts a straight line down through the heart
We call it love
We wrapped our arms 'round eachother
Trying to shove ourselves back together
We was making love, making love
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
When by the mighty hand of Jove
It was a sad story how we became lonely 2 legged creatures
The story, the origin of lovve
Thats the origin of love (oh yeah)
The origin of love
The orgin of love (ahahahahah)
The origin of love
