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

And the fire down from the sky in bolts Like shining blades of a And it ripped right through the Of the of the sun and the moon, and the earth
And some Indian god the wound up into a hole it 'round to our belly To remind us of the we pay And Osiris and the of the Nile
Gathered up a big to blow a hurricane To scatter us away in a of wind and rain And a sea of tidal to wash us all away And if we don't behave they'll cut us down And well be hopping round on one foot looking one eye
Last I saw you, we had just split in two You looking at me, and I was looking at you You had a way so familiar but I could not 'Cause you had blood on your
And I had in my eyes But I could swear by your That the pain down in your Was the same as the pain in mine
That's the Cuts a straight line through the heart We call it So we wrapped our arms around other
Trying to shove ourselves together We were love It was a cold evening such a long time ago When by the hand of Jove
It was the sad How we became lonely two-legged It's the story of the of love That's the origin of love, of love, origin of love
