I think the chorus reveals a lot more than anyone is touching on. I think it's about how a lot of women today are walking around knowing their power over men. But Slug's always seen that (whether or not he guards against it) and that's where "I'ma tap her on the shoulder, I'ma give her a clue" comes from.
That's one thing I've always loved about Atmosphere. Slug's lyrics paint a spiteful, manipulative, waste of time woman, and in a lot of ways, that woman is inside nearly everyone I know. Especially myself.
This is late but, I just had to say this:
1) I agree with you and
2) It's true, Slug does often portray a manipulative woman in his songs, and the funny thing is, he loves women. In his interviews, he makes it clear that he respects women greatly and he even said so himself. And not to mention he has this shirt that says: "This is what a feminist looks like"
