作词:Stephen Trask
When the earth was still flat
And clouds made of fire
And mountains stretched up to the sky
Sometimes higher folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kicks 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 home
The origin of love
The origin of love
The origin of love
The origin of love
And there were three sexes
And 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 son 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 but you said no
You better let me use my lightning like scissors
Like I cut the legs off the whales dinosaurs into lizards
Then he grabbed up some bolts
He let out a laugh
Said I'll split them right down the middle
Gonna cut them right up in half
And the storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire fire fire fire
And then fire shot down from the sky
Both 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 something in god sewed the wound up to a hole
Pull it round to our bellies to remind us
The price we paid
And the sirens forgot to deny
Gathered up a bit of stone
To blow a hurricane
To scatter us away
A flood of wind and rain
A sea of tidal waves
To wash us all away
And if we don't behave
They'll come this town again
Ha we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye
The 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
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
Oh that's the pain
That cuts a straight line down to the heart
We call it love
We wrapped our arms around each other
Tried to shove ourselves packed together
We were ** ** ** **
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
Went by the mighty hand of joe
It was a sad story how we became only two leg creatures
This is the story of the origin of love
That's the origin of love
Oh yeah the origin of love
Oh oh the origin of love
Love love love the origin of love
