When the earth was still flat, and the clouds of fire And mountains up to the sky, sometimes higher Folks roamed the earth like big rolling They had two of arms, two sets of legs
They had two faces out of one giant head And they could all around them And they talked while they And never knew nothing of love It was before the origin of love, origin of
And there three sexes then One that looked two men glued back to back Called the of the sun And similar in shape and girth were the children of the
They looked like two girls up in one And the children of the moon were a fork shoved on a spoon They were sun, part earth, part daughter, part son Origin of
Now the gods grew quite of our strength and defiance And Thor said, "I'm gonna them all with my hammer Like I killed the giants" and Zeus "No, you better let me use my lightning, scissors Like I cut the legs off and dinosaurs into lizards"

And some Indian god sewed the wound up a hole Pulled it to our belly To us of the price we pay And Osiris and the gods of the
Gathered up a big to blow a hurricane To scatter us away in a flood of wind and And a sea of waves to wash us all away And if we don't behave they'll cut us again And well be hopping round on one looking through one eye

And I had in my eyes But I could swear by your That the pain in your soul Was the same as the pain down in
the pain Cuts a straight line down the heart We call it So we wrapped our arms around each
Trying to shove back together We were making It was a cold dark evening a long time ago by the mighty hand of Jove
It was the sad How we became lonely creatures It's the story of the origin of That's the origin of love, origin of love, of love
