about

Song Fu 2012, First prompt. "Write a song about bioluminescence."

lyrics

I was walking down the street one night when a flash of light caught my eye
Didn't think much 'til it went again even closer then flew away
Got me wondering about aliens were there space-y men in the sky
Someone one told me it's a lightning bug sitting on my mug I'll let it stay

I don't understand how you illuminate
I just stare in awe because that trick is great
Shine your light on us you living glow thing

Now I wonder how you do that thing does it hurt or sting when you glow
Luminescence well it's new to me some physiology I don't know

Are you alien or nuclear?
It's too dark out to see you clear
Bioluminescent bugs are here
And as they fill up the sky
I can see this is the coolest time of year
