lyrics

At the bureau of subordination
It was your first day on the rolls
You showed up on time with your hair done nice
All manicure and gloss
You reminded him of Stephanie
The pretty one from the soaps
She was a governess or an heiress or a war widow
He wasn’t sure, he kept her in the background
With the volume down low
He told you all about Stephanie’s poolside scene
Tanning topless with a loaded gun

Careful girl you’re hurting me
With the buttons of your dress done high against your neck
A man can’t just ignore these things
You keep pretending there’s no tension
And never think to mention
Or thank me for this flattery
Cause in the light you don’t look that much like Stephanie
(You don’t look like much to me)

Always in skirts always make sure the hem hits
Just above the knee
Never bare legs no ladders climbing
Your skin colored stockings
You don’t need to walk much
Heels high enough to show you’re not serious
Never miss the messages
Don’t cry when they kill the messenger
It’s not your job to call the cops
And anyway nobody cares when the boys get loud
You take the cue you take the compliment
And you keep your head down

Careful girl you’re hurting me
With the buttons of your dress done high against your neck
A man can’t just ignore these things
You keep pretending there’s no tension
And never think to mention
Or thank me for this flattery
Cause in the light you don’t look that much like Stephanie
(You don’t look like much to me)
