about

The song was inspired by the story of the Milgram Experiments of the 1960s, where subjects were instructed to give ever-increasing electric shocks to a "learner" who was supposed to be memorizing a combination of word pairs. The word pairs were Blue/Girl, Nice/Day, Slow/Dance, Sweet/Taste etc. The experiment found that most people would obey an authority figure and give even lethal shocks to the learner if they made a mistake, following orders against their own conscience. The participants were very shaken by what they did, once the true nature of the experiment was revealed to them.

lyrics

I put myself in your place
Now we're going up a level
The voltage that I change
Up into the threshold of pain
Did you just say something or did you fall
Silent Silent

Blue Girl Nice Day
Slow Dance Sweet Taste
Soft Hair Sharp Needle
True Story True Story
True Story

Please don't make a mistake
It's going to hurt me more than you
The choices that I make
Let the current flow through
Somewhere someone is crying
and someone falls
Silent Silent

Blue Girl Nice Day
Slow Dance Sweet Taste
Soft Hair Sharp Needle
Blunt Arrow True Story
True Story
True Story

the man in the uniform
the man in the white coat
called me a good boy
and gave me a five dollar note

the man in the uniform
the man in the white coat
said be a good girl
and gave me a five dollar note
