:14:01
The origin of love
:14:04
The origin of love
:14:06
Now there was
three sexes then

:14:09
One that looked like two men
glued up back-to-back

:14:13
They called
the children of the sun

:14:16
And similar
in shape and girth

:14:19
Was the children
of the Earth

:14:21
They looked like two girls
rolled up in one

:14:26
And the children
of the moon

:14:28
Looked like a fork
shoved on a spoon

:14:31
They was part sun,
part earth

:14:32
Part daughter, part son
:14:36
Aah--
:14:39
The origin of love
:14:46
Now the gods
grew quite scared

:14:48
Of our strength
and defiance

:14:50
And Thor said
:14:52
"I'm gonna kill 'em all
with my hammer

:14:54
Like I killed
the giants"

:14:57
ButZeus said
:14:58
"No, you better
let me

:15:01
Use my lightning
like scissors

:15:03
Like I cut the legs
off the whales

:15:06
Dinosaurs into lizards"
:15:08
And then he grabbed up
some bolts

:15:11
He let out a laugh
:15:13
Said, "I'll split them
right down the middle

:15:15
Gonna cut them
right up in half"

:15:18
And the storm clouds
gathered above

:15:22
Into great balls
of fire

:15:31
And then fire
:15:34
Shot down from the sky
in bolts

:15:37
Like shining blades
of a knife

:15:41
And they ripped
right through the flesh

:15:45
Of the children
of the sun

:15:47
And the moon
and the earth

:15:49
And some lndian god
:15:52
Sewed the wound up
into a hole

:15:54
Pulled it round
to our bellies

:15:55
To remind us
the price we pay

:15:59
And Osiris,
and the gods of the Nile
