Strict Time |
| Theres a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth |
| I can hear you knocking but Im not coming out |
| Dont want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist |
| cause theres no ventilation on a critical list |
| Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist |
| Strict time |
| Toughen up, toughen up Keep your lip buttoned up Strict time |
| Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl |
| And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl |
| Strict time |
| Oh hes all hands, dont touch that dial |
| The courting cold wars weekend witch trial |
| Strict time |
| All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid |
| The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid cause its strict time |
| Strict time |
| You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones |
| Try to look italian through the musical valium |
| Strict time |
| Thinking of grand larceny |
| Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity |
| Cute assistants staying alive |
| More like a hand job than the hand jive |
| Strict time |
