The Origin of Love

In the style of

Hedwig And The Angry Inch

Lyrics

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 around them

as they talked, while they read

and they never
knew nothing of love

it was before
hmm, 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
we called the children

of the sun

and similar in shape and girth
was the children of the earth

they looked like two girls
rolled up in one

and the children of the moon
were like a fork

stuck on a spoon

they were part sun, part

earth, part daughter, part son

hmm, 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 zeus said no

you better let me use
my lightning like scissors

like i cut the legs off the
whales, dinosaurs into lizards

and 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

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

to a hole

pulled it 'round
to our bellies

to remind us
the price we pay

and osiris 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

if we don't behave
they'll cut us down again

we'll be hopping
round on one foot

and looking

through one eye

last time i saw you
we just split in two

you was looking at me
i was looking at you, you

had a way so familiar
i could not recognize

'cos you had blood in 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 through the heart
we call it love

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 a sad
story how we became

lonely two-legged creatures

the story
the origin of love

that's the origin of love
the origin of love, oh

the origin of love
love, love, love

the origin of love
