OriginofLove

Origin of Love - Stephen Trask

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

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

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

But Zeus said no

You better let me

Use my lightening like scissors

Like I cut the legs off the whales

And dinosaurs into lizards

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
