There's a smart young
woman on a light blue
screen who comes into

my house every night

She takes all the red,
yellow, orange and
green and she turns
them in to black and

white

But you tease and you
flirt, and you shine

all the buttons on your
green shirt

You can please

yourself but somebody's
gonna get it

You better cut off all
identifying labels

before they put you
on the torture table

'Cause somewhere
in the Quisling Clinic
there's a shorthand
typist taking seconds
over minutes

She's listening in to
the Venus line. She's
picking out names,

I hope none of them
are mine

'Cos you tease and you
flirt, and you shine

all the buttons on your
green shirt

I never said I was

a stool pigeon. I never
said I was a diplomat

Everybody is under

suspicion. but you don't
wanna hear about that

'Cos you tease and you
flirt, and you shine

all the buttons on your
green shirt

Better send a

begging letter to the
big investigation

Who put these

fingerprints on my
imagination?

But you tease and you
flirt, and you shine

all the buttons on your
green shirt

You can please

yourself but somebody's
gonna get it
