Lyrics

You kicked a pebble into the river yesterday And I felt that in the way that the lilies swayed We've got nothing on our minds except other people's thoughts You've got fifteen more books to shelf I found the next person next to a bus stop I was waiting for your text and waiting for her heart to drop Then I got onto the bus headed to the library Took fifteen more minutes to go But you already know Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I am, who I am Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I need to be I've got these fifteen pages in my hand Each from a different dead man So mister librarian, tell me the things I cannot see I've got to get the answers, got to know it all Snatched my neighbor's dreams into a little crystal ball Won't you hold your hands in mine and throw it onto the pyre I've got fifteen more back home You knitted me a sweater but I lost it in Rome Or I think I left it on the desk of my childhood home I took all your needles and stuck 'em into the drywall But you've got fifteen more in your spine So you'll be fine Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I am, who I am Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I need to be I've got these fifteen pages in my hand Each from a different dead man So mister librarian, tell me the things I cannot see Mister librarian Pry out of me all you need for closure Mister librarian Take my fingers apart Mister librarian Catch me the sun then raise its Exposure Mister librarian Burn out my eyes ears and heart Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I am, who I am Mister librarian, I don't remember Who I need to be I've got these fifteen pages in my hand Each from a different dead man So mister librarian, tell me the things I cannot see So mister librarian, tell me the things I cannot see
