Story Behind the Song

I thought "Mold en Mono" was an anagram of "Lemon Demon", but found out after I made the song that it's a letter off. Sometimes the method to my madness is flawed, but luckily madness is naturally flawed.

Lyrics

Sand colored sky without clouds I spy
Sand colored sky without clouds I spy

Mold en Mono can be traced back very far
Mold en Mono is the next big movie star
Mold en Mono has a cold sharp scimitar
Mold en Mono is exactly what you are

Welcome to my house
Completely made of popsicle sticks
I don’t have any stairs
But the elevator has been fixed, so

Welcome to my world
You got a problem with the paradigm
Take it upstairs, take it upstairs
Welcome to my world
You got a problem
There’s a conference, this is your chance
Take the elevator upstairs, this is your chance
No need to ring the bell, go now, this is your chance
See the people in charge
(See the people in charge.)

Sand colored sky without clouds I spy
Sand colored sky without clouds I spy

Mold en Mono can be traced back very far
Mold en Mono is the next big movie star
Mold en Mono has a cold sharp scimitar
Mold en Mono is exactly what you are

Once upon a time
An unknown author authored a book
About well-meaning germs
It was not worth the effort it took, so...

Welcome to my world
You got a problem with the weather machines
And the drama queens, right?
Welcome to my world
You got a problem that you just can’t solve
And it wants to evolve
Take an aspirin, dude
Make a point not to brood
Don’t you ever wish
You were up on a dish
Making prank phone calls
As the meteor falls

Sand colored sky without clouds I spy
Sand colored sky without clouds I spy

Mold en Mono can be traced back very far
Mold en Mono is the next big movie star
Mold en Mono has a cold sharp scimitar
Mold en Mono is exactly what you are
(Mold en Mono is exactly what you are)

(Gimme the good news first.)

Let me tell you this, OK?
I am not here, I am not here
So you go and fake your death, OK?
'Cause I am not here, I am not here
I hear Farmer Jones is A-OK
But his pinky toe may never grow back
So you count your chickens before they hatch
Because I am not here, I am not here

Mold en Mono can be traced back very far
Mold en Mono is the next big movie star
Mold en Mono has a cold sharp scimitar
Mold en Mono is exactly what you are

It’s exactly what you are…
(Little green menaces; schizogenesis…)
(Falling down the stairs; star fruits, apples, grapes, and pears…)
(Mold en Mono…)
(You have no idea…)
