Lyrics

Well when the Earth was still hot
And the clouds were on fire
And the mountains rose up to the sky
And we were still there
In our home up above
Except we rebel angels
Could not stay home
We had to find out for ourselves
About the earth below
We couldn't remain in the peace up above
We had so much to learn about love

Well up in heavens there was no one to love
Cause there was no lover and no beloved
We were family together as one
And now we're here on the ground
And peace cannot be found
And that's the origin, buddy
The origin of love

Well the angels look down at our strength and defiance
We started running just hiding from silence
We'd forgotten what it was like up above
Well the angels look down at our sore distress
We started violence violence hurting each other and making a mess
Of things on the ground
And that's the origin
The origin of love

We started hurting
Each other
We started running
From silence
We started violence
We started violence
We started running running from silence
Oh, we started
Looking to each other
And not inside
We started running
That' the origin of love
That's the
That's the origin of love
I say
The origin of love
When we needed each other
Put our arms around each other
Violence
We put our arms around each other
Search for the origin of love
Search for the origin of love
We have to find love

[[he mentions that this song was in Hedwig and the Angry Inch]]

well when the earth was still flat
And the clouds were on fire
and the mountains rose up to the sky
And we were still in our home up above
But we rebel angels could not stay home
We had to learn for ourselves about the earth below
Couldn't stay in the peace in the upper world
We had so much to learn
about love

Well, up in the heavens there was no one to love
cause There was no lover and no beloved
we were family as one
And now we roll around
And peace cannot be found
And that's the origin of love
the origin of love

When the angels looked down at us great and divine
We started toiling hurting each other and running from silence
We'd forgotten what it was like, up above
when the angels look down on us all in distress
We start with silence and violence
making our own mess
Making our voices heard down here on the ground
And that's the origin, the origin of love

Well, we started out looking for success
Started making a mess, left it all to the world
Oh, that's all I'm saying, oh, that's all I'm saying

The world is gonna lose its mind
Oh, but love is not as hard as I thought it would be
No, it cannot be found again
