Beats Between the Stacks

[Verse 1] In the quiet stacks she tends the tired hours Dust motes drift like stars in fluorescent towers She smiles at the clock, hiding a spark she keeps Dreaming of rhythm breaking her routine's sleep [Chorus] Let the pages turn to beats! Break the hush, let laughter rise Roll the shelves into a neon street Dance until the library sings in the skies [Verse 2] She pockets a whisper of a waltz between the stacks Nods to the clock and tricks the hushed aisles with her acts Her heart drums loud as loose-leaf pages fly Tonight she’s breaking free, under the moonlit sky [Chorus] Let the pages turn to beats! Break the hush, let laughter rise Roll the shelves into a neon street Dance until the library sings in the skies [Bridge] If a librarian can spill color, so can the night Turn every scan into a spark, every label bright Release the quiet, let the tempo take flight [Chorus] Let the pages turn to beats! Break the hush, let laughter rise Roll the shelves into a neon street Dance until the library sings in the skies [Outro] She returns to the desk, yet her heart still sways in light The stacks remember the dream, ready for more tonight
