about

Co-written with Jaye D. Marie.

lyrics

If your battery is low reception's gettin' weak
And all you got is hang ups you know so to speak
Wouldn't it be nice if help was just one call away
If only you could figure out God's mobile number, eh?

I hear you buddy I was just like you
Tuned out and disconnected yeah I didn't have a clue
But an infomercial sold me the best thing I ever bought
Would you believe my new flip phone lets me talk to God?

I called triple nine nine it was right on time
Got connected to the Cloud Nine God Line
I pressed one pressed two I was waitin' in queue
Then the automated angel put me on through

I bet you could write a book the trouble that you've seen
Lucky you life is gettin' better than it's ever been
Why? Because today I'm shipping out your very own
Fancy cordless 5G holy mobile telephone

So call triple nine nine you're right on time
Get connected to the Cloud Nine God Line
Press one press two you'll be waitin' in queue
Then the automated angel is gonna' put you through

Call now or later
We'll be here forever
I mean, ideally, call before you die
But you know, like, whatever
