 When the eDarth was still flat

 And the cD/Blouds made of fire

 And moAadd9untains stretched up to the sky

GSometimes higher

GFolks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs

 They had Dtwo sets of arms, they had two sets of legs

 The had twF♯mo faces peering out of one giant head

 So they coulEmd watch all around them

AAs they talked while they read

 And they neGver knew notAhing of lDove

 The origin of loDve G

 And there were thrBmee sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back,

 Called the children of the sGun.

 And siDmilar in shape and girth were the children of the earth.

 They looked like tDwo girls rolled up in oGne.

 And the chAildren of the moon

 Were like a foBmrk shoved on a spoon.

 They were paC♯mrt sun, part earth

 Part daughter, part sonA.

 Now the gDods grew quite scared

 Of our sD/Btrength and defiance

 And Thor sGaid, "I'm gonna kill them all Gwith my hammer,

 Like GI killed the Ggiants."

 AGnd Zeus said, "No,you better let me

 Use my Dlightening, like scissors,

 Like I cut the lDegs off the whales, dinosaurs and the liDzards."

 Then he grF♯mabbed up some bolts

 And he lGet out a laugh,

 Said, "I'll split them rEmight down the middle.

 Gonna cut 'em Aright up in half."

 And then sGtorm cloudsA gathered abovDe

 Into great balls of fiGre

 And then fiBmre shot down from the sky in bolts

 Like shining blades of a knGife.

 And it rBmipped right through the flesh

 Of the children of the sun And the moon And the eGarth.

 And some Indian gBmod sewed the wound up into a hole

 Pulled it round to our belly to reGmind us of the price we pay.

 And OsBmiris and the gods of the Nile

 Gathered up a big sGtorm

 To blow a hurriEmcane,

 To scatter us aBmway,

 In a flood of wind and rGain,

 And a sea of tidal wavEmes,

 To wash us all awBmay,

 And if we don't beGhave

 They'll cut us down agEmain

 And we'll be hoG♯pping round on one fooGt

DAnd looking through one eye.G

DLast time I saw you

 We had jBmust split in two.

 You were loGoking at me.

 I was loAoking at you.

 You had a wDay so familiar,

 But I coBmuld not recognize,

 'Cause you had blGood on your face;

 I had Ablood in my eyes.

 But I sDwear by your expression

 That the pBmain down in your soul

 Was the saGme as the one down in mAine.

 That's the pDain,

 Cuts a strBmaight line down through the heGart;

 We call it lAove.

 We wrapped our aDrms around each other,

 Trying to shove oBmurselves back together.

 We were making loGve,

 Making lovAe.

 It was a cDold dark evening, such a lBmong time ago,

 When by the mGighty hand of JAove,

 It was a sadD story how we became loBmnely two-legged creatures,

 It's tGhe story of the origin of loAve.

 That's the origin of loDve. G D G D G
