Five-Eight-Nine Point Two

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the five-hundred shelf
Keep it all to myself
Stuffy rules in this hall
Ignore the supervisor’s call
Systematic and so cold
Stories waiting to be told
[Pre-Chorus]
Fizzy heart and restless feet
Where science and sonnets meet
Hidden notes in the spine
Waiting for a secret sign
[Chorus]
One two three spin the wheel
Dewey knows how I feel
Eight-hundreds for your eyes
Underneath the plastic skies
Mylar crinkles in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Post-Chorus]
Ink smudges on my skin
Let the dizzy game begin
[Verse]
Microfilm humming real low
Watch the grey shadows grow
Date stamps on your thumb
Feeling beautifully numb
Third row floorboards start to creak
Every time I try to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
Fizzy heart and restless feet
Where science and sonnets meet
Hidden notes in the spine
Waiting for a secret sign
[Chorus]
One two three spin the wheel
Dewey knows how I feel
Eight-hundreds for your eyes
Underneath the plastic skies
Mylar crinkles in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Bridge]
Lichen guides in the wrong place
Finally I see your face
Five-eight-nine point two
Looking straight at you
No more slips or secret codes
Walking down the paper roads
[Verse]
Meteorology and old rhymes
Changing with the quiet times
Cardboard boxes tap the beat
Card catalog looks so neat
You reach for the green book
I give you a nervous look
[Chorus]
One two three spin the wheel
Dewey knows how I feel
Eight-hundreds for your eyes
Underneath the plastic skies
Mylar crinkles in the dark
Waiting for a—
[Outro]
