She paints her fingernails forbidden tones

She applies nail polish in unconventional colors.

She wants nervous youth on the telephone

She desires anxious young men to call her.

He don't call

The person she's interested in doesn't make the expected phone call.

And puts him next to her stuffed animals

Extended description of her actions with the voodoo doll.

They say they got her future down at the desk

People claim to have her future figured out.

And now they're drawing blood for the grownup test

Something crawls

Beneath her lily skin

Metaphorically, something is crawling beneath her skin.

And her doll

Her doll reacts to the unsettling feeling.

Is so relieved she's lost her innocence

The doll is relieved to lose its innocence.


It was a teen game

The past was a game of adolescence.

Now we're serious

The present is serious, not a game anymore.

It's all customized

Everything is now tailored to individual preferences.

Don't get curious

Caution against curiosity.

And your attention

They have your focus and attention.
