Lyrics
There's a smart young woman
Refers to a clever young woman
On a light blue screen
Describes her presence on a computer screen
Who comes into my house every night
She metaphorically enters the speaker's space regularly
And she takes all the red, yellow
Takes various colors and transforms them
Orange and green
Specifies the colors red, yellow, orange, and green
And she turns them into black and white
Converts the colors into black and white
But you tease, and you flirt
Addresses teasing and flirting behavior
And you shine all the buttons
Highlights attention to details like buttons on a green shirt
On your green shirt you can please yourself
Encourages self-indulgence on the green shirt
But somebody's gonna get it
Warns of consequences for actions
Better cut off all identifying labels
Suggests removing any identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
References the possibility of torture
'cause somewhere in the "quizling clinic"
Mentions a place called the "quizling clinic"
There's a shorthand typist
Introduces a shorthand typist in the clinic
Taking seconds over minutes
Describes the typist's meticulousness with time
She's listening in to the venus line
Refers to monitoring the venus line (love or attraction)
She's picking out names
Identifying names through the monitoring
I hope none of them are mine
Expresses concern about being identified
But you tease, and you flirt
Reiterates teasing and flirting behavior
And you shine all the buttons
Emphasizes attention to buttons on the green shirt
On your green shirt you can please yourself
Encourages self-indulgence on the green shirt again
But somebody's gonna get it
Reiterates the warning of consequences
Never said I was a stool pigeon
Denies being a stool pigeon (informant)
I never said I was a diplomat
Denies being a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
Highlights suspicion affecting everyone
But you don't wanna hear about that
Acknowledges the audience's lack of interest in certain topics
'cause you tease, and you flirt
Reiterates teasing and flirting behavior
And you shine all the buttons
Emphasizes attention to buttons on the green shirt again
On your green shirt you can please yourself
Encourages self-indulgence on the green shirt once more
But somebody's gonna get it
Reiterates the warning of consequences
Better send a begging letter
Advises sending a pleading letter
To the big investigation
Refers to a significant investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
Questions the origin of imaginative influences
You tease, and you flirt
Reiterates teasing and flirting behavior
And you shine all the buttons
Emphasizes attention to buttons on the green shirt again
On your green shirt you can please yourself
Encourages self-indulgence on the green shirt again
But somebody's gonna get it
Reiterates the warning of consequences
You can please yourself
Repeats the idea of self-indulgence
But somebody's gonna get it
Reiterates the warning of consequences again
You can please yourself
Repeats the idea of self-indulgence again
But somebody's gonna get it
Reiterates the warning of consequences once more
