May's entry into the Twelve Months project! The randomized restrictions for this song were:
BPM: 168
Key: D Minor
Vibe: "Eating junk food out of a vending machine."

lyrics

Stretchers and
Nurses and
You just sit there waitin
Coin in and
Food out and
Pattern goes on repeatin'
You'll eat whatever
You can find here
The hours
Tick by and
Still you are left here guessin'
If they are even
Still alive

Pace in a circle waitin'
And curse these fluorescent lights
"No News Is Good News" they say
you'll break that door with your eyes

The doctor said she'd be a while
But you need those questions answered so you hold on
The sun and moon have come and gone
But on the bright side
The cafeteria opens soon

It's been sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
When's someone gonna tell me something
Anything
I don't even need details
Sixteen hours
It's been sixteen hours
It's been sixteen
Hours

Pace in a circle waitin'
And curse these fluorescent lights
"No News Is Good News" they say
you'll break this door with your eyes
