| [00:21.25] |
When the earth was still flat |
| [00:23.78] |
And the clouds made of fire |
| [00:26.64] |
And mountains stretched up to the sky |
| [00:30.55] |
Sometimes higher |
| [00:34.01] |
Folks roamed the earth |
| [00:36.30] |
Like big rolling kegs |
| [00:38.38] |
They had two sets of arms |
| [00:40.84] |
They had two sets of legs |
| [00:43.29] |
They had two faces peering |
| [00:46.35] |
Out of one giant head |
| [00:48.30] |
So they could watch all around them |
| [00:51.13] |
As they talked while they read |
| [00:53.47] |
And they never knew nothing of love |
| [00:57.86] |
It was before the origin of love |
| [01:05.41] |
The origin of love |
| [01:07.96] |
The origin of love |
| [01:10.49] |
The origin of love |
| [01:14.03] |
And there were three sexes then |
| [01:15.89] |
One that looked like two men |
| [01:18.27] |
Glued up back to back |
| [01:20.37] |
Called the children of the sun |
| [01:23.45] |
And similar in shape and girth |
| [01:25.98] |
Were the children of the earth |
| [01:28.45] |
They looked like two girls |
| [01:30.57] |
Rolled up in one |
| [01:33.60] |
And the children of the moon |
| [01:35.87] |
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon |
| [01:38.03] |
They were part sun, part earth |
| [01:40.18] |
Part daughter, part son |
| [01:47.42] |
The origin of love |
| [01:53.36] |
Now the gods grew quite scared |
| [01:55.60] |
Of our strength and defiance |
| [01:57.88] |
And Thor said |
| [01:59.20] |
'I'm gonna kill them all |
| [02:00.16] |
With my hammer |
| [02:02.27] |
Like I killed the giants. |
| [02:05.17] |
But Zeus said, 'No |
| [02:06.69] |
You better let me |
| [02:08.30] |
Use my lightening, like scissors |
| [02:10.74] |
Like I cut the legs off the whales |
| [02:13.37] |
And dinosaurs into lizards. |
| [02:15.73] |
Then he grabbed up some bolts |
| [02:18.49] |
And he let out a laugh |
| [02:20.35] |
Said, 'I'll split them right down the middle |
| [02:22.91] |
Gonna cut them right up in half. |
| [02:25.15] |
And then storm clouds gathered above |
| [02:29.30] |
Into great balls of fire |
| [02:39.61] |
And then fire shot down |
| [02:43.57] |
From the sky in bolts |
| [02:45.47] |
Like shining blades |
| [02:46.67] |
Of a knife |
| [02:49.08] |
And it ripped right through the flesh |
| [02:52.72] |
Of the children of the sun |
| [02:55.00] |
And the moon |
| [02:55.90] |
And the earth |
| [02:58.28] |
And some Indian god |
| [03:00.13] |
Sewed the wound up into a hole |
| [03:02.28] |
Pulled it round to our belly |
| [03:03.01] |
To remind us of the price we pay |
| [03:08.07] |
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile |
| [03:11.88] |
Gathered up a big storm |
| [03:14.45] |
To blow a hurricane |
| [03:16.86] |
To scatter us away |
| [03:18.95] |
In a flood of wind and rain |
| [03:21.44] |
And a sea of tidal waves |
| [03:23.78] |
To wash us all away |
| [03:26.19] |
And if we don't behave |
| [03:28.53] |
They'll cut us down again |
| [03:30.53] |
And we'll be hopping round on one foot |
| [03:33.61] |
And looking through one eye |
| [03:58.76] |
Last time I saw you |
| [04:01.40] |
We had just split in two |
| [04:03.42] |
You were looking at me |
| [04:05.45] |
I was looking at you |
| [04:07.79] |
You had a way so familiar |
| [04:10.96] |
I could not recognize |
| [04:12.75] |
Cause you had blood on your face |
| [04:15.24] |
I had blood in my eyes |
| [04:17.91] |
But I could swear by your expression |
| [04:20.13] |
That the pain down in your soul |
| [04:22.41] |
Was the same as the one down in mine |
| [04:26.19] |
oh~That's the pain |
| [04:29.06] |
Cuts a straight line |
| [04:31.05] |
Down through the heart |
| [04:33.19] |
We called it love |
| [04:36.09] |
we wrapped our arms around each other |
| [04:38.43] |
Trying to sew ourselves back together |
| [04:40.84] |
We were making love |
| [04:42.72] |
Making love |
| [04:45.31] |
It was a cold dark evening |
| [04:47.92] |
Such a long time ago |
| [04:49.90] |
When by the mighty hand of Jove |
| [04:54.55] |
It was the sad story |
| [04:56.57] |
How we became |
| [04:57.73] |
Lonely two-legged creatures |
| [04:59.91] |
It's the story of |
| [05:00.89] |
The origin of love |
| [05:02.69] |
That's the origin of love |
| [05:06.17] |
oh~yeah~The origin of love |
| [05:10.23] |
oh~oh~The origin of love |
| [05:14.95] |
love~love~love~The origin of love |
