When the earth was still flat   And the clouds made of fire   And mountains stretched up to the sky   Sometimes higher   Folks roamed the earth   Like big rolling kegs   They had two sets of arms   They had two sets of legs   They had two faces peering   Out of one giant head   So they could watch all around them   As they talkedwhile they read   And they never knew nothing of love   It was before the origin of love   The origin of love      And there were three sexes then   One that looked like two 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 two 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 origin 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.'   And Zeus said, 'No   You better let me   Use my lightening, like scissors   Like I cut the legs off the whales   And dinosaurs into lizards.'   Then he grabbed up some bolts   And he let out a laugh   Said, 'I'll split them right down the middle   Gonna cut them 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   Of the children of the sun   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      Random Number Generation   All our feelings and thoughts   Expressed in ones and in oughts   In endless spiraling chains   You can't decode or explain   Cause you are so analog   God dog I eye I god dog      We're the random number generation   We are random number generated   We are random numbers      In the regime of the solid state   Wheels spin when you iterate   K is x squared minus one   But .54321   When x is taken times two   That's when we're coming for you      We're the random number generation   We are random number generated   We are random numbers      Mister Little started something huge   Iggy Pop Iggy Stooge   All the children shout out   Hey here we are      We're the random number generation   We are random number generated   We are random numbers
