lyrics

Oh little lightning bug floating in my yard, I feel like you've been here once before
the pattern in the wind with the ascension and the fall
like incisions made but hidden out of view.

Oh little lightning bug...

I was walking in the dusk after a long day outside,
humidity like blankets hanging on the line
and in the yard on my way in the house before I touched the door
I tuned my ear to the beginnings of a scar...

Oh little lightning bug...

Your bioluminescence like the rhythm of my pulse
when I turned the knob and found out it was locked,
and the yells and screams and panic that I heard inside my walls,
I had forgot but soon my house would turn to rot

Oh little lightning bug...

I had forgot that chasing lightning bugs on my trampoline
had made me fall and in 2 places broke my arm
and for years there were those nights we didn't know if we would eat
and I had never know that your tears were cause of me.

Oh little lightning bug, floating in my yard
I know now that you've been here once before
this pattern in the wind with the ascension and the falls
like incisions made but now I clearly see.

about

Pelican Jones Austin, Texas

I live in Austin, I love playing and writing music with friends. My musical influences are many and range from early 2000's hardcore to choral arrangements from Swedish composers.

You can get me to do most things if a good meal or a good dessert is promised in exchange.

I hope you like this album and share it with people you love. ... more
