Lyrics Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man

Once Was One

Of all us he had to know he'd never grow

He'd never climb he'd never love like the love I know

When I was two and he was ten they carried me

Through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas

Once was born of light like you

Once was one but now am two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two

There were two monkeys talkin' sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines singing

We all we all we all turn on we all we all we all turn off

If gather is all you need to change the wind

For anything to die it needs first to begin

Once was born of light like you

Once was one but now am two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two

There were two monkeys talkin' sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines singing

We all we all we all turn on we all we all we all turn off in time

Saw your future is not burning so bright

But if we live too long you'll live less like mine

We all we all we all turn on we all we all we all turn off

There were two monkeys talkin' sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines singing

We all we all we all turn on we all we all we all turn off in time

If human breed hate love and lies would be traits of mine

But I was of the future past and present time

Once was born of light like you

Once was one but now am two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two
