Even though I love APP, this is not one of my favorite songs or records by this entity. However, that doesn't mean I don't like it; quite the opposite. But I never looked over the lyrics until now. What I realized is that Parsons pulled certain passages from the short story and plugged them into this song (I actually just read the short story to confirm this.) It's clever songwriting.
As for the music, I love the interlude (if that's what it's called) at the 1:30 mark where it takes you away from the manic verse and puts you into a pleasant state of mind before throwing you right back into the madness. All in all, I give it an 8.3/10.
