Suzanne Vega once had a poster of the great Marlene Dietrich on her wall. This song is sung from the point of view of Marlene Dietrich looking down at Suzanne Vega living her life. There is obviously a forbidden relationship taking place and the song switches from Suzannes point of view of things and then to how Marlene Dietrich would view it.
"Marlene watches from the wall, her mocking smile says it all......"
"Don't give away the goods too soon is what she might have told me....."
