ORIGIN OF LOVE

When the earth was still flat, 
And the clouds made of fire, 
And mountains stretched up to the sky,  
Sometimes higher,  
Folks roamed the earth  
Like big rolling kegs.  

They had two sets of arms. 
They had two sets of legs.  
They had two 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 the origin of love. 

The origin of love 

And there were three sexes then, 
One that looked like two men 
Glued up back to back, 
Called the children of the sun. 
And similar in shape and girth 
Were the children of the earth. 
They looked like two girls 
Rolled up in one. 
And the children of the moon 
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon. 
They were part sun, part earth 
Part daughter, part son. 

The origin of love 

Now the gods grew quite scared 
Of our strength and defiance 
And Thor said, 
"I'm gonna kill them all 
With my hammer, 
Like I killed the giants." 
And Zeus said, "No, 
You better let me 
Use my lightening, like scissors, 
Like I cut the legs off the whales 
And dinosaurs into lizards." 
Then he grabbed up some bolts 

And he let out a laugh, 
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. 
Gonna cut them right up in half." 
And then storm clouds gathered above 
Into great balls of fire 


And then fire shot down 
From the sky in bolts 
Like shining blades 
Of a knife. 
And it 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 hurricane, 
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 
And looking through one eye. 


Last time I saw you 
We had just split in two. 
You were looking 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, 
Cuts a straight line 
Down through the heart; 
We called it love. 
So we wrapped our arms around each other, 
Trying to shove ourselves back together. 
We were making love, 
Making love. 


It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story 
How we became 
Lonely two-legged creatures, 
It's the story of 
The origin of love. 

That's the origin of love.
