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 Emphasizing your least likable traits And baby it accumulates Baby it accumulates In the depots, in the silos On the palettes, in the crates Down the isles, wreathed in smiles In great mountains on our plates Like the love of God it enters you In all kinds of amorphous states And 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 But baby it accumulates Baby it accumulates Baby it accumulates Looking down from the high rise Staring back with your own eyes Playing games with 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 Sucking on the teats Cos baby it accumulates Yeah baby it accumulates Baby it accumulates
