telephone disasters Lyrics

Call me up with nothing the lines gone blank, I let it ring in hopes that you'll go away, and I'm coming down with a case of the hang ups. A loss in connection would be great, one hundred paranoias, with nothing, with nothing to say. My ears are bleeding from the static, and the thought of your voice has got me panicked, I thought we had at least a hate agreement. So why'd you call me up, call me up? We don't talk for a reason, these are the telephone disasters, I couldn't pick up, hang up, or fuck up on you any faster, these are the telephone disasters, we don't talk for a reason, I couldn't pick up, hang up, or fuck up on you any faster... So why'd you call me up, call me up?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
