Jane Doesn't Need Dick:
Origin of Love
Origin of Love
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 And 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 So we wrapped our arms around each other Trying to sew 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 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 Lyrics from "Origin of Love" by Hedwig and the Angry Inch |
