Twilight Omens Lyrics

Cover art for Twilight Omens lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

It sounds like he's waking up in the early morning (twilight) and remembers he got a girl's number the night before, but keeps seeing signs as to why he should or shouldn't give her a call. The number rubbing off on his face and being backward but looking normal through a mirror could mean that's she's deceptive. But then he hears her name on the radio (what he sees as a good omen) and contemplates giving her a call. Later with her number on a calculator (58008 is the only thing I can think of that would make sense when flipped upside down on a calculator), which I'm guessing he also sees as a good omen.

5318008 is a seven digit number :P
