미첼 앤 치터
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
Now there were
three sexes then
One that looked
like two men
Glued up
back to back
They 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 eo
you better let me
Use my lightening
like scissors
Like I cut the legs
off the whales
And dinosaurs
into lizards
And
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
the origin of love
That's the
origin of love
the Origin of love
the origin of love
the Origin of
love
