[Intro — calm, deep male voice] Good evening. Please, take a seat. Your medical records look perfectly normal. Your other records, however… Well. We need to talk. [Verse 1] White coat, clean hands, charming smile, I’ve been watching you for quite a while. Checking your pulse, asking how you’ve been, You’d be surprised by the things I’ve seen. A little research after half past nine, Found a few secrets you thought you’d left behind. You came to me to ease your pain, But some little stains don’t wash away. [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath, don’t be afraid, Every little choice has a price to pay. You can lie, but I already know, There’s nowhere left for your secrets to go. [Chorus] Doctor’s orders, d-d-doctor’s orders, Crossed a line and now you’ve crossed my borders. Heartbeat racing, count to three, I’ve got a little remedy. Doctor’s orders, don’t make a sound, Funny how the truth comes crawling out. L-l-lie back, close your eyes, Not every patient gets another night. [Verse 2] You tell me that you’re innocent, But I’ve seen where all the evidence went. A name, a date, a missing face, You thought you’d buried every trace. I check the chart, adjust the light, Tell you everything will be alright. Your eyes keep searching for the door, But I’ve heard that little story before. [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath, don’t be afraid, Every little choice has a price to pay. You can beg, but I already know, Some things aren’t mine to let go. [Chorus] Doctor’s orders, d-d-doctor’s orders, Crossed a line and now you’ve crossed my borders. Heartbeat racing, count to three, I’ve got a little remedy. Doctor’s orders, don’t make a sound, Funny how the truth comes crawling out. L-l-lie back, close your eyes, Not every patient gets another night. [Bridge — music drops to a heartbeat] Now… Before we begin… Is there anything you’d like to confess? … No? What a shame. I was hoping you’d make this easier. [Glitch Breakdown — distorted monitor beeps] Tick, tick, tick… One little prick. Beep, beep, beep… Time to sleep. D-d-doctor’s orders… [Final Chorus — heavy, ominous bass swell] Doctor’s orders, d-d-doctor’s orders, No more running, no more hiding in the corners. Heartbeat fading, count to three, You won’t be hurting anyone after me. Doctor’s orders, the room goes still, Another little secret buried on the hill. L-l-lie back, close your eyes, I wonder who’ll be next in line. [Outro — calm male whisper] There we are. All finished. … Nurse? Could you send in my next patient? And bring me their file.
