Overview
"No Contact" was demoed multiple times by Rivers Cuomo at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios throughout 2004. The song is one of several songs derived from Catalog O' Riffs entry #393, which ultimately culminated in the scrapped Make Believe track "You're the One."
The song was first heard by fans in 2020 when it was among hundreds of demos leaked through the demo storefront on riverscuomo.com. The song was made available for purchase a few weeks later as part of the demo compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.
Lyrics
I don't understand
How to be the man
What do people want from me?
Gathering around
Waiting for some sound
I'm as dumb as I can be
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
Fascination grows
Sticking up their nose
Everyone is curious
I'm an alien
Guess I've always been
That's why I cause such a fuss
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
Learn to read
Learn how to write
You'll do good
You'll be all right
No contact
No contact, no contact
I'm living on my own
No contact, no contact
This dungeon is my home
No contact, no contact
No contact
No contact, no contact
No contact
