[00:02.27]The Origin of Love
[00:02.94]From "Hedwig and the Angry Inch")
[00:04.58]- Musical Mania
[00:17.94]When the earth was still flat
[00:20.39]And the clouds made of fire
[00:23.06]And mountains stretched up to the sky
[00:26.58]Sometimes higher
[00:30.67]Folks roamed the earth
[00:32.92]Like big rolling kegs
[00:34.94]They had two sets of arms
[00:37.41]They had two sets of legs
[00:39.89]They had two faces peering
[00:42.88]Out of one giant head
[00:44.86]So they could watch all around them
[00:47.64]As they talked; while they read
[00:49.75]And they never knew nothing of love
[00:54.36]It was before the origin of love
[01:01.67]The origin of love
[01:04.33]The origin of love
[01:06.71]The origin of love
[01:09.90]And there were three sexes then
[01:12.29]One that looked like two men
[01:14.18]Glued up back to back
[01:16.47]Called the children of the sun
[01:19.57]And similar in shape and girth
[01:21.94]Were the children of the earth
[01:24.38]They looked like two girls
[01:26.43]Rolled up in one
[01:29.66]And the children of the moon
[01:31.83]Looked like a fork shoved on a spoon
[01:34.13]They was part sun part earth
[01:36.08]Part daughter part son
[01:43.67]The origin of love
[01:49.57]Now the gods grew quite scared
[01:51.63]Of our strength and defiance
[01:53.83]And Thor said
[01:55.08]"I'm gonna kill them all
[01:56.24]With my hammer
[01:57.61]Like I killed the giants "
[02:00.67]But the Zeus said "No
[02:02.19]You better let me
[02:03.39]Use my lightning like scissors
[02:05.35]Like I cut the legs off the whales
[02:08.49]And dinosaurs into lizards "
[02:10.75]Then he grabbed up some bolts
[02:13.75]And he let out a laugh
[02:15.38]Said "I'll split them right down the middle
[02:17.85]Gonna cut them right up in half "
[02:20.19]And then storm clouds gathered above
[02:24.58]Into great balls of fire
[02:34.55]And then fire shot down
[02:38.42]From the sky in bolts
[02:40.61]Like shining blades
[02:41.92]Of a knife
[02:44.08]And it ripped
[02:45.92]Right through the flesh
[02:47.89]Of the children of the sun
[02:49.91]And the moon
[02:50.75]And the earth
[02:52.97]And some Indian god
[02:54.83]Sewed the wound up into a hole
[02:57.05]Pulled it round to our belly
[02:58.53]To remind us of the price we pay
[03:02.83]And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
[03:06.67]Gathered up a big storm
[03:08.00]To blow a hurricane
[03:10.39]To scatter us away
[03:14.05]In a flood of wind and rain
[03:16.33]And a sea of tidal waves
[03:18.66]To wash us all away
[03:21.06]And if we don't behave
[03:23.42]They'll cut us down again
[03:25.55]And we'll be hopping around on one foot
[03:28.74]And looking through one eye
[03:52.42]Last time I saw you
[03:54.70]We had just split in two
[03:56.83]You was looking at me
[03:59.16]I was looking at you
[04:01.24]You had a way so familiar
[04:03.85]But I could not recognize
[04:05.55]Cause you had blood on your face;
[04:08.08]I had blood in my eyes
[04:10.33]But I could swear by your expression
[04:11.91]That the pain down in your soul
[04:15.02]Was the same as the one down in mine
[04:19.08]That's the pain
[04:22.17]Cuts a straight line
[04:24.05]Down through the heart
[04:26.10]We called it love
[04:28.97]So we wrapped our arms around each other
[04:31.11]Trying to shove ourselves back together
[04:33.49]We was ****** ****
[04:35.47]****** ****
[04:38.14]It was a cold dark evening
[04:40.86]Such a long time ago
[04:42.55]When by the mighty hand of Jove
[04:47.33]It was the sad story
[04:49.17]How we became
[04:50.42]Lonely two-legged creatures
[04:52.50]It's the story of
[04:54.13]The origin of love
