[[Mark Eitzel]] told ''Melody Maker'' that the song "is a real crass attempt to...it's about this hooker. Everyday I see some woman on my street who's been beat up real bad, and this lady across the hall who keeps passing out before she can get here key in the lock. And you come back late and she's screaming down the phone, and you can hear it cos she keeps her door propped open with her fire alarm and she's screaming down the phone. 'Do something! Damn you, do something! I hate you, I wanna die..' That kind of thing. And very crassly, I think 'Oh,I'll write a song about this.'"<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.geocities.ws/rsjbraz/amcmelodymaker0389.html | work=Melody Maker | date=March 25, 1989 | author=Simon Reynolds | title=Psycho Thriller | accessdate=June 16, 2017}}</ref> | |||
