Hotline Scream

I like to call you on my cellphone
Late night when you're all alone
Call you on my cellphone
Just like when I killed your mom
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I talked to Sidney, ooh
Got infatuated with your death now
Everybody knows and now the word's out
Girl, I got your friends, I got them bleeding out
'Cause ever since I talked to Sidney you
Started feeling stressed and locking your doors
Harassing, causing pain because your mom's a whore
Killed a schoolgirl I used to date before
I like to call you on my cellphone
Late night when you're all alone
Call you on my cellphone
Just like when I killed your mom
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I talked to Sidney you, you, you
You and me, we just don't get along
They think it's Neil that killed your mom
Go ahead and trace my phone logs
Ever since I talked to Sidney, ooh
I killed your friend with the garage door
Running out the party just to kill some more
Gut them with my knife so I can see some gore
I like to call you on my cellphone
Late night when you're all alone
Call you on my cellphone
Just like when I killed your mom
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you're forwarding the calls to someone else
Wonder if you're dialing up a number of someone else
Doing things, I caught you getting backstabbed from someone else
You don't need no one else
I don't need nobody else
No, why you always alone?
Why you always on the phone?
Tried to get you in your home
Be a good girl, you will die alone
Yeah, you should kill yourself
Hide out behind the shelf
I like to call you on my cellphone
Late night when you're all alone
Call you on my cellphone
Just like when I killed your mom
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
You know when that house phone ring
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I talked to Sidney
