The Origin of Love (Live) lyrics

When the Earth was still flat
And clouds made of fire
And the mountains stretched up to the sky
Sometimes higher
Folks roamed the Earth like big rollin' 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 oh-whoa
The origin of love (origin of love)
The origin of love (origin of love)

And there was 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 was the Children of the Earth
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
And the Children of the Moon was like some fork stuck on a spoon
They was part Sun, part Earth, part daughter, part son
Ohh, the origin of love (origin of love)

And 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,
Turned 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 'em right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire
