David Gray - Accumulates lyrics

Well, it grips and it grins It cavorts and it gyrates And it whispers from the wings Knowingly insinuates Shines a certain light on things Emphasising your least likeable traits Baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates In the depots, in the silos On the pallets, in the crates Down the aisles, wreathed in smiles In great mountains, on our plates Like the love of God, it enters you In all kinds of amorphous states Baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates Mindless need is loosed among us In our homes and down our streets Singing like some mythic creature Of great Edens, through the gates And you can have better suction Even wanton destruction And all of this at very competitive rates Baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates Looking down from the highrise Staring back with your own eyes Playing games with the numbers Messing 'round with the dates Altering its positions Muttering sweet propositions Doing its damnedest to get you Between the sheets And you might start out Kicking and screaming Pretty soon you’re gonna wind up su*king on the teats 'Cause, baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates Baby, it accumulates
