6-5000 Lyrics

(Intro)

Yeahhhh
I got the beach in my toenails
From last night, oh what a night
All by myself ridin the rails
To Sunday light, oh what a light
Two bottles empty, I smash them open
And gave away all of my things
All of my savings, yeah come Wednesday
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna sing

Six, Five Thousand call me there, call me there
Six, Five Thousand in the air, oh in the air
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
I said why, I said whyy
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
In the sky, in the skyy

I'm ok, I hear you asking
I'm alright, I'm alright
All by myself, but I'm baskin'
In the light, oh in the light
Drawing pictures of my toenails
And gave away all of my things
I'm not savin' any bad days,
Let it rain, oh let it rain

Six, Five Thousand call me there, call me there
Six, Five Thousand in the air, oh in the air
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
I said why, I said whyy
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
In the sky, in the skyy

(Break)

I'll be hopin' that you're busy
Oh when I go, when I go
I'll quote Shakespeare, I'll quote Disney
In the show, oh in the show
I can see now where I'm wanted
I can see now just how to be
There's no pain and no taxes
Oh it would seem, oh it would seem

Six, Five Thousand call me there, call me there
Six, Five Thousand in the air, oh in the air
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
I said why, I said whyy
Six (six) Five (five) Thousand
In the sky, in the skyy

I think it's:

Six, five thousand, call me there, call me there

[PEnnsylvania] 6-5000 is claimed to be "the oldest continuing phone number in New York City"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEnnsylvania_6-5000

Oh definitely! In non-album versions he clearly says it.

Pretty sure it's: Six, five thousand, call me there, call me there Six, five thousand, in the air, oh in the air

for each chorus

6 times 5000 equals 30000 and 30000 days is pretty much the avg life expectancy of a canadian (82 years * 365 = 29930). the band is canadian
