The [D] earth was still flat, [Bm] and clouds made of fire, [D] and mountains stretched up to the sky, sometimes [G] higher. _ _ _ _
_ [G] Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs they [A] had, two sets of arms they [D] had, two sets of legs they had,
two faces peering [G] out of one giant head, so they could [Em] watch all [G] around them as [A] they talked while they read,
and they [G] never [B] knew nothing [D] of love, it was [G] before, _ [A] no, no, the origin [D] of love.
[G] The origin of love.
The origin of [D] love.
The origin of love.
_ Now there [B] was three sets, and then one that looked like [Bm] two men glued up [D] back to back, they called the children of [G] the sun.
_ In a [B] sudden shape and depth was the children [Bm] of the earth, they [D] broke out, two girls rolled up [G] in one.
And [A] the children of the moon was [B] like a fork shoved down a spoon, they [C#] was parts, son, [B] father, father, [A] daughter, parts, son.
_ [B] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ Ah, the origin of [D] love.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Now [D] the gods grew quite scared of [A] our strength and defiance, and Thor said, I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer, [G] like I killed the giants.
_ But Zeus said, no, you better let me, use my lightning like scissors, like I cut [D] the legs off the whales, _ dinosaurs into lizards, and then he grabbed up some bolts.
[G] He let out a laugh, said I'll [Em] split them right down the middle, [A] gonna cut them right up in half.
[G] And the storms [D] gathered about into great [G] waves of fire.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] And the fire _ shot down from the sky [G] in bolts like shining blades of an arrow, and it [Bm] ripped right through the flesh of the children [G] of the sun and the moon and the earth.
And [Bm] so many gods were wound up to a halt, for the lands were ready to [G] remind us the price we paid.
And [Bm] the silence of the gods of the night gathered up the [G] good storms to blow our [E] hurricane, to scatter [Bm] us away.
The flood of [G] wind and rain, the sea of [E] tidal waves, washed us [Bm] away.
And if we [G] don't behave, they'll turn us [E] down again, and [G#] we'll be hopping round [G] on one foot, [D] and [B] looking through our [G] eyes. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
