When the earth was still flat and the clouds made of fire And the 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 Origin of love The origin of love Origin of love Well there were three sexes then One that looked like two men glued on back to back They were the children of the sun And similar in shape girth were the children of the earth They looked like two girls rolled up in one And the children of the moon was like a fork shoved on a spoon They were part sun part earth part daughter part son Oh the origin of love Well 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'd better let me use my lightning like scissors Like i cut the legs off the whales 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 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 to a hole Turned it 'round to our bellies to remind us the price we payed And osiris, and the gods of the nile gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane To scatter us away A flood of wind and rain, 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 Looking through one eye The last time i saw you we had just split in two He was looking at me, i was looking at you You had a way so familiar i could not recognize Cause you had blood on your face And i had blood in my eyes But i swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul was the same As the one down in mine That's the pain That cuts a straight line down through the heart We call it love We wrapped our arms around each other Tried 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 Oh yeah, the origin of love The origin of love The origin of love

Fury, Hell hath no fury Mercy, I need your mercy Shadow work incomplete, abundant worry, cease to bleed You are mine in your mind so constantly, inescapably Sweetest child, don't you see? The veil is so thin Soon all will see, life will see, we have been deceived But as we're born anew The water birth, we tried and true Blackness spawned, now end's consumed Man's wisdom will surpass doom I know we struggle here The ways of old will die again Some of us will lie with them To end the cycle of endless fear You'll soon remember why you're here And so it was written and spoken to few Empty brotherhoods from tainted truth From Egyptian times to modern rule We asked for truth, but were only fooled Don't cast your stones at me Because you simply cannot perceive What you've been subjected to We must question all, or we are doomed But as we're born anew The water birth, we tried and true Blackness spawned, now end's consumed Man's wisdom will surpass doom I know we struggle here The ways of old will die again Some of us will lie with them To end the cycle of endless fear Your spirit is attainable, but locked within you Between the bone, the blood, and the sinew This forever journey only continues Reaching deep within, remember what you once knew And so it was written and spoken to few Empty brotherhoods from tainted truth From Egyptian times to modern rule We asked for truth, but were only fooled Don't cast your stones at me Because you simply cannot perceive What you've been subjected to We must question all, or we are doomed And so it was written and spoken to few Empty brotherhoods with tainted truth From Egyptian times to modern rule We asked for truth, but were only fooled Think or die, die, die Think or die Think or die!

You talk about life and talk about death and everything in between Like it's nothing and the words are easy You talk about me and talk about you and everything I do Like it's something that needs repeating I don't need an alibi or for you to realize The things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads Make it my fault, win the game, point the finger, place the blame And curse me up and down, it doesn't matter now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense The first two weeks turn into ten, I hold my breath and wonder When it'll happen, does it really matter? If half of what you said is true and half of what I didn't do Could be different, would it make it better? If we forget the things we know would we have somewhere to go? The only way is down, I can see that now 'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense It's really not such a sacrifice If I never talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation and it don't, don't make sense And it don't have to make no sense to you at all 'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'd like to find out what places she's been What's behind her locked door Or better yet know if I'm out or I'm in If her elevator still runs the top floor Perhaps she would say she was a student of hope And I'm dangling from the end of a disintegrating rope But I don't wish to spark off her outraged imagination I don't wish to get into any double edged conversation It's a touchy situation Woah, yes It's a touchy situation Oh-oh-oh, yeah Someday I'll find out what I'm now afraid to ask And I'll discover what lies there beneath the door mats Perhaps she would say that I'm just deathly afraid To see her make the same mistake that I made And it might lead to some sweet revelation She knows I hate even this conversation It's a touchy situation Woah, yes It's a touchy situation Oh-oh-oh, yes I said, "Are you doing well baby?" She says, "Go ask your father" I said, "Give me yes, no, or maybe" She says, "Why should I bother?" I said She says I said, ohhh I'll ask you tomorrow I'll ask you tomorrow If I could only break the coat of her fears I could expose the secrets to the river of her tears Rattle her senses 'til she's pouring forth her tears Before she could exercise those powers of manipulation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation Woah It's a touchy situation Woah It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation It's a touchy situation
