No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
Ringing, stinging, jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me throughout the day
See the feathers fly
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
Rhyming, chiming, got me working all the time
It gives me such a worried mind
Now I don't want to seem unkind
But God, it's such a grind
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
Shaking, quaking, waking me when I'm asleep
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
I've been on fire
Yet I still stay frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No, I don't have any change, but
Here's a few subway tokens
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone...
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me throughout the day
See the feathers fly
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
It gives me such a worried mind
Now I don't want to seem unkind
But God, it's such a grind
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
Yet I still stay frozen
So deep in the night
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
No, I don't have any change, but
Here's a few subway tokens
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone
I just want to be alone today
No phone, no phone
I just wanna be alone today
No phone, no phone...

This song is the shit....and Im a huge Cake fan. I dont know why Cake fans dont like it...all there stuff is pretty damn good.
OK, my thoughts: Perhaps he is actually telling the phone "NO". He is absolutely sick of the phone. He wants just one day of peace. He sees the phone as something that is continually seeking his attention and is something that is actually behaving slightly violently. The fact that it rings so much makes him almost paranoid and he has reached his limit. This is the "price" you pay for a girlfriend-she calls all the time. When he says that he has been on fire but now he stays frozen I think he is saying that he used to take it and just get mad (a feeling related to heat) but now he stays frozen and doesn't even move when he hears the phone and knows that she wants to talk. There is no benefit for him to talk to her. He can't be alone in his thoughts because he is always interrupted, he can't talk to her about anything because she keeps talking (and perhaps now he doesn't even want to tell her things anymore). The part where he sounds like he is speaking to someone asking him for money seems to me to be saying that his girlfriend is acting just like that, he has nothing more for her except something that will take her far away. And his way of giving her "a few subway tokens" is to just ignore her calls.
Straightforward song.
this song is so catchy!
I think that this song is kind of annoying, but good. Which is kind of an odd opinion. Oh well....
violent.
