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 to a hole Pulled around to our bellies 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 A sea of tidal wavesTo wash us all away If we don't behaveThey'll cut us down again And we'll be hopping around on one foot And looking through one eye
Origin of Love
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 to a hole
Pulled around to our bellies
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
A sea of tidal wavesTo wash us all away
If we don't behaveThey'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping around on one foot
And looking through one eye
