lyrics

Step into the water with me here, it’s much warmer than you think
Let go of whatever’s weighing you down, and offer it to the sea.
Remember the time in Colorado we were poking through the cattle lands?
You stopped the car and I began to sing “Over the Rainbow” and the herd came in.
Swimming with 500 pelicans, did you ever think you’d see such a sight?
Everything is just so improbable baby, it’s a mystery-moonless night.
How’d I ever find my way to you in an ocean of endless night?
You and me baby we’re just swimming with- 500 Pelicans, 500 Pelicans.
People often wonder where the dinosaurs went when the asteroid hit not far from here.
Just watch 500 pelicans dive into the water and the answer seems very clear.
There’s lots of people saying that nothing even matters, getting caught up in the undertow.
But I prefer to savor the sunset on the water, and the way it makes your brown eyes glow.
Swimming with 500 pelicans, did you ever think you’d see such a sight?
Everything is just so improbable baby, it’s a mystery-moonless night.
How’d I ever find my way to you in an ocean of endless night?
You and me baby we’re just swimming with- 500 Pelicans, 500 Pelicans.
I’m just a sentient being standing on the beach, with one foot in the sand.
Tell me what is all of this I think I see, just a daydream or something planned?
I’ve come to know that magic isn’t always pretty, watch the crabs on the concrete stairs.
I don’t suppose they’ll ever reach their destination, and I wonder if they even care?
Swimming with 500 pelicans, did you ever think you’d see such a sight?
Everything is just so improbable baby, it’s a mystery-moonless night.
How’d I ever find my way to you in an ocean of endless night?
You and me baby we’re just swimming with- 500 Pelicans, 500 Pelicans.

Their debut album 10% Hopeful is a genre-defying, modern-day song cycle depicting a journey emerging from a dream, into darkness then back into the light. ... more
