Lemon Demon - Touch-Tone Telephone [LYRICS]

"Touch-Tone Telephone" by Lemon Demon, from the 2016 album "Spirit Phone".

LYRICS:
I think it's time
For you to know
The awful truth
The truth about me and the truth about you
Cause you're a brand new species
Big cat
Space Nazis
Robert Stack
God damn it, gonna snap
Leonard Nimoy
Call me back (Call me back)

I try to call you every day
I'm rehearsing what to say
When the truth comes out (Of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
Cause I'm the right one
On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone
I'm the only one
On your AM, AM radio

Oh, I'm crying now
Authentic tears
They flow out of me when I think about you
Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand
(Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand the meaning of this)
Oh my god
I try and I try and I try to make you listen to me

I try to call you every day
I'm rehearsing what to say
When the truth comes out (Of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
Cause I'm the right one
On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone
I'm the only one
On your AM, AM radio

Don't hang up yet; I'm not done
I'm an expert; I'm the one
The one who was right all along
Better to be laughed at than wrong
I'm an expert in my field
UFOlogy, yes, it's all real
Ancient aliens, it's all true
I'm an expert just like you
And like you, I'm a genius, before my time
Disbelieving, that's the real crime
Pretty soon they'll discover me
In the Super-Sargasso Sea

I try to call you every day
What can I say
When the truth comes out? (Of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
Cause I'm the right one
On my touch-tone telephone
(On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone)
I'm the only one
On your AM radio
(On your AM, AM radio)

It took me two days to realise this is about a conspiracy theorist that constantly calls into an AM radio station to talk about their discoveries to a host who humors them...

[rkhasentered]

Me at 4 am on a school night convinced I've figured out the true identity of the Zodiac killer

[soconfused]

This is now going to be the history channel at night anthem

[crunchygrunchy]

Lemon Demon is like a cross between The Scary Jokes and Jack Stauber that got electrocuted

[navivan]

I love the quite phone ringing in the bridge

[morphman]

Today's upcoming raid on Area 51 made me think of this song, and I had to listen to it again.

I do hope someone takes footage from there and sets it to the tones of Touch-Tone Telephone afterwards.

[plix]

i be jamming to this while "doing school work"

[thegreenrobott.g.r]

While driving to work; this came on my Soundcloud Radio after playing the last song in my main playlist.
At first I thought "What in the world is this?"
After hearing the entire song I said to myself "Holy crap that was amazing!"
This song is now one of my favourites and I'm glad it found me. :)

[kreutonne]

Now I know what it's like to have a song you love so much you watch it every day

[VoidHearted]

Song: He calls all the time because even though he gets laughed at, it’s the only way people listen to him. He’s crying because nobody believes him and he thinks he’s gonna get assassinated for knowing the truth.

Me: heehoo. Conspiracy theorist gay for radio man.

[Wobbmin]

You know what I realized? If all the songs in the "Spirit Phone" album happen in the same universe, then there's actually a good chance that some of this guy's conspiracy theories are true.
"Ancient aliens, it's all true"
"Ancient Aliens" is the name of another song in the album.

[noellerutledge]

This is one of those songs that I don't think I'll ever be able to sing well and sound good doing it, but I don't think that's the point either. The point of this one is to have fun.
Y'know, this sounds like an epic song to sing as like a group karaoke thing

[mxrbledoceans]

I just started thinking, since their styles of music are somewhat similar, what if Jack Stauber and Lemon Demon made a song together?? 😨

[tarantula-ash]

dude just spent 4 minutes explaining welcome to night vale and no one can convince me otherwise.

[bee]

i’m sorry ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba was not included in the lyric video?

[kaleidoskulI]

how come i never noticed the sick ass "HEY" at 2:08

[johnwick-frgs]

this song is about dib and no one will ever change my mind.

[spiffyyyreal]

So a friend introduced me to Lemon And as they say “The rest was History”

[cringelord]

that one kid who's into conspiracy theories and shit: i like your funny words magic man

[skag_gully]

I found this from an Invader Zim animatic and I'm glad I found it :D
