Data Decay (Mimi's Song)

[Intro]
[Verse]
Click and slide the plastic case
Find a dusty, forgotten place
Diskette three is labeled blue
A drawing made for you
Half-recovered, pixel lines
Broken code in static signs
[Breakdown]
To-Toby, do you see?
Mi-Mimi, set it free
Read error, sector three
A tiny, toy-key glee
[Hook]
Spin the little drive
Make the memory glow
Keep the past alive
Watch the pixels grow
Static in the dusty box
Turn the rusty plastic locks
[Interlude]
Bip-bip, click-click, beep
Secrets that we keep
Buried in a dusty heap
[Verse]
Yellow plastic, keys of gray
Play the chords we used to play
Low-bit square waves start to hum
Tap the tiny toy-box drum
Green-sky drawing, half-erased
Childhood laughter, double-spaced
[Drop]
Re-read, re-read, write
Save it in the night
Micro-pixel light
Hold the floppy tight
[Bridge]
Do you still recall the code?
Hidden in the old arcade?
Down a dusty, gravel road
Where the screen began to fade?
Toby laughed and Mimi ran
Back to where it all began
[Hook]
Spin the little drive
Make the memory glow
Keep the past alive
Watch the pixels grow
Static in the dusty box
Turn the rusty plastic locks
[Breakdown]
Low-fi static on the screen
Colors that we haven't seen
Sector error, write it down
Toby's drawing of the town
[Outro]
