Analysis of 15:11 living room 1
Retro_pain 1985 (Arizona)
I'm not sure which way the clocks tick
It's the air in here that is making me sick
Do you have a light key or can I flip the switch?
I've got a feeling the lemonade is tampered with
These socks aren't the only thing
that have lost their grip
The cameras roll and the scales tip
One black eye and a fat lip
Should handle it
The nurse has your medicine ready
Stand in line till your legs get heavy
Compliance is complicated
And the patio is locked and gated
Eat the food they so perfectly plated
Your mood and attire will be rated
Your privacy will be invaded
Sign you consent on the pad
We are all a little crazy
We are all a little mad
