Origin Of Love

Intro
G (When the Earth...)

When the earth ..
And the clouds ..
And mountains...
Sometimes ...
Folks roamed ...
They had two sets ...
They had two ...
So they could ....
As they talked; ...
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.
The origin of love
And there were three ...
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the ...
And similar in...
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children ...
Were like a fork...
They were part ...
Part daughter, part son.
The origin of love
Now the gods...
Of our strength...
And Thor said,
"I'm ...
With my hammer,
Like ...
And...
Use my lightening...
Then he grabbed .
And he let ...
Said, "I'll split them right ...
Gonna cut them right ...
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire
And then fire...
Of a knife.
And it ripped
And the earth.
And some Indian god
To remind ...
And Osiris ...
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.
(Break) PLay Twice
Last...
We had just...
You were looking...
I was looking...
You had a way...
But I could...
Cause you had blood...
I had blood...
But I could swear...
That the pain...
Was the same as the one...
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms...
Trying to shove ourselves...
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold...
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 of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.
