Music & Lyrics: Origin of Love - MIKA

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette
Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette
Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
I’m feeling sick I’ve got to medicate myself

I want your love don’t try and stop me
Can’t get enough still hanging off me
Your guilty heart don’t let it break you
And if you pray, well no one’s gonna save you

Like every one that you fear
And every thing you hold dear
Even the book in your pocket
You are the sun and the light
You are the freedom I fight
God will do nothing to stop it

The origin is you
You’re the origin of love

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette
Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette
Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
I’m feeling sick I’ve got to medicate myself

 

Well if God is a priest and the devil a slut
Well that’s a reason for nothing
Like every word that you preach
Like every word that you teach
With every rule that you breach
You know the origin is you

From the air I breathe
To the love I need
Only thing I know
You’re the origin of love
From the God above
To the one I love
Only thing that’s true
The origin is you

Madre nostrum Deus machismo

Madre Deus Deus machismo
Dio de madre Deus machismo
Deus esso sanctus spirito

Like stupid Adam and Eve
They found their love in a tree
God didn’t think they deserved it
He taught them hate taught them pride
Gave them a leaf made them hide
Let’s push their story aside

You know the origin is you
You’re the origin of love

Some love’s a pill and some love is a candy cane
It tastes so sweet but leaves you sick with pain
Your love is air I breathe it in around me
Don’t know it’s there but without it I’m drowning

You’re the origin of love
I thank God that you found me
