Cheater/ John Cameron Mitchell - The Orgin of Love lyrics

When the earth was still flat

And the clouds made of fire

And the moutains stretched up to the sky

Sometimes higher

Folks roamed the earth

Like big rolling kegs

They had 2 sets of arms

They had 2 sets of legs

They had 2 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 orgin of love

The orgin of love

And there were 3 sexes then,

One that looked like 2 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

2 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 orgin 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 of whales,

Dinosaurs into lizards"

And so he grabbed up some bolts

He let out a laugh

Said "I'll split them right down the middle,

Gonna cut em' 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

And the moon

And the earth.

And some indian god

Sewed the wound up into a hole,

Pulled it round to our belly

To remind us of the price we pay.

And Osiris and the gods of the Nile

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.

Last time I saw you

We had just split in two.

You were looking at me.

I was looking at you.

You had a way so familiar,

But I could not recognize,

Cause you had blood on your face;

I had blood in my eyes.

But I could swear by your expression

That the pain down in your soul

Was the same as the one down in mine.

That's the pain,

Cuts a straight line

Down through the heart;

We called it love.

So we wrapped our arms around each other,

Trying 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 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.
