Manipulation Lyrics

Red and green was the color of her dress
Manipulation
Pale blue was the color of her eyes
Manipulation

Yellow yellow, was her hair
Orange sunburst, red-hot glare
Manipulation
Manipulation

And you can feel her madness
She will call you out
watch out for her dark side
and you'll soon figure out
She'll straighten you
and she's got you, got you

Red and green was the color of the ground
Manipulation
Pale blue was the color of the steel
Manipulation

Yellow yellow was her hair
Icy grey, was her glare
Manipulation
Manipulation

And you can feel her madness
see right through her smile
don't you turn your back and
you'll soon figure out, so run on
She'll straighten you
and she's got you, got you

Red and green was the color of the money in her hand
Pale blue were the color of the flowers on his casket

Yellow yellow was her hair
icy grey was her glare
Manipulation
Manipulation

And you see her sadness
She will call you out
watch out for her dark side
and you'll soon figure out, so run on
She'll straighten you
and she's got you, got you

Obviously about a sinister female figure, one whose beauty allows her to control men and get what she wants ("Manipulation").

"Red and green was the color of the money in her hand": This quote says it all :)

There are a number of errors in the lyrics here.

I have:

Red and green was the color of her dress Manipulation Pale blue was the color of her eyes Manipulation

Yellow yellow, was her hair Orange sunburst, red-hot glare Manipulation Manipulation

And you can feel her madness She will call you out watch out for her dark side And you'll soon figure out, so run on She's training you And she's got you, dancing (don't she?)

Red and green was the color of the ground Manipulation Pale blue was the color of the steel Manipulation

Yellow yellow was her hair Icy grey, was her glare Manipulation Manipulation

And you can feel her madness See right through her smile Don't you turn your back, and And you'll soon figure out, so run on She's training you And she's got you, dancing

Red and green was the color of the money in her hand Pale blue were the color of the flowers on his casket

Yellow yellow was her hair Icy grey was her glare Manipulation Manipulation

And you can see her sadness She will call you out Watch out for her dark side And you'll soon figure out, so run on She's training you And she's got you, dancing

It sounds so weird when he says "dancing" that I'm entirely sure that's correct. Best I can come up with so far. "Training" could be "draining".

To me, this song sounds like a warning to stay away from a seductive golddigger, but it doesn't appear to be a condemnation. More like a warning about a dangerous predator, that respects that predator for what it can do, while at the same time suggesting that she may have some psychological issues that cause her to act that way.

Lyric Correction

Woah! Please pardon the many repeated posts down there, but I just had an epiphany when reading the lyrics...It sounds as if she killed her husband for insurance money and then had the flowers that adourned his casket match her eyes. Pure evol! I love it!

You are so fucked in the head I believe you've spent a little too much time here which is so sad considering....Need I say why? I have learned and learned well (more than anything else and from the best and the people I respect most) that people only like to screw with your head. And hell, if you can't beat em' join em' right? Maybe that's what I've always been missing. Hmm. Interesting.

This song is about Nico from The Velvet Underground

How do you figure it's about Nico?
