Track 07 of the Grayscale album.

lyrics

Don't try to call me, don't leave a message
It's three in the morning and you're drunk dialing questions
Banging on the ear drums, guess whos listenin to you get
through another jabber jaw session
I hit the pillow kinda high feeling mellow
Worked all day body obviously jello, but
Hello, can't even roll into the REM state
Cell phone resonate, you need a friend to ventilate
Fuck, can't it wait? I just got comfortable
Just got the pillows how I like it and it's wonderful
I lied, there's only one obstacle, to make it all
Justified in my eyes accountable, so...

You call me in the daytime
I'll laugh and nod and smile and shake my head
But don't call me at three in the morning
Unless you're dealin with the living dead, I said
Don't call unless it's zombies
Don't wake me up unless it's finally true
You wanna talk about your boyfriend and his friends, that's cool
If they're not scratching at your door, then save it for the afternoon

I wanna hear you say you need me around
I wanna hear the chainsaws in the background
I wanna hear you saying that the dead are alive,
You need me to survive, I'll come along for the ride
Really, it better be a full on invasion,
damn cutes not a valid open invitation to
anytime minutes to moan, bitch, and cuss
I need dead tissue and guts, infected cuts
It's not much, but I do have my reasons
Been pretty damn busy all evening
I'm not talking feelings, I'm gonna lay low
unless skin's peeling off like it's play doh...

You call me in the daytime
I'll laugh and nod and smile and shake my head
But don't call me at three in the morning
Unless you're dealin with the living dead, I said
Don't call unless it's zombies
Don't wake me up unless it's finally true
You wanna talk about your girlfriend and her friends, that's cool
If they're not scratching at your door, then save it for the afternoon

Don't call late unless a blatent case of brain rot
Makes your dad grab your mom and bite until her veins pop
And don't call at a quarter to four unless
Tie die gore stains are dripping down your tanktop
Over lunch, we can talk about the issues,
Who you hate dating, table waiting in your new shoes
Rent due, plus science and the news, no
Voodoo, swine flu, radiated toxic goop,
Instead I'm up and it's the same old nonsense
Same old content, same old problems
Think twice if you're dialing my phone
If you can't see a zombie, then leave me the fuck alone

You call me in the daytime
I'll laugh and nod and smile and shake my head
But don't call me at three in the morning
Unless you're dealin with the living dead, I said
Don't call unless it's zombies
Don't wake me up unless it's finally true
You wanna talk about your boyfriend and girlfriends, that's cool
If they're not scratching at your door, then save it for the afternoon
