actually i find some meaning on it. could it be patterns on tv static? maybe...
but i always thought they were singing about not letting your surroundings mold you, about being yourself. as everyone knows, the b-52's came from rural america, which can suck you up and make you a small-minded simpleton (a category in which most people fall into).
as i see this song, they're simply saying 'be one of a kind', like they did. and they became one of the funniest new-wave bands. how dull and serious was rock music before them?
Jonasminduim is exactly right about the lyrics. If you crack down the lyrics below.

private = reclusive, hidden
idaho = rural state
underground like a potato = not intouch with the rest of the world
dont let the chlorine in your eyes = don't let the people & your surroundings blind you from finding yourself.
dont go on the patio beware of the pool = dont branch out of you place because you are scared
get out of that state = get out of that state of mind
you fell into idaho = you feel into that state of mind
where do i go from here to a better state = metaphoric for state of mind
the lawn may be green = the place might be nice
Conclusion
Your a reclusive person or somebody who hasn't branched. Someone who is scared or small minded to think outside the box about about what is going on in the rest of the world. Dont be scared of going outside box, discover the rest of the world. Find out for yourself. Get away from that way of thinking. The place may be nice but do be afraid or resist to discover the world.
You are falling to that path keep off it. Where do you go from here which way will you pick ?
