Steven Wilson - EMINENT SLEAZE Lyrics

Steven Wilson Lyrics

"EMINENT SLEAZE"

Me, I'm a bona fide reptile
The closer I get to the dark
The sharper the suit that I'm wearing, yeah

'Cause it's never ending
No it's never ending
It's always pretending
'Cause it's never ending

And my smile, sincerely a lie
I've got designs to hypnotise
I won't try to disguise I'm a sinner
Because

It's never ending, yeah
It's never ending, yeah
The rules keep on bending, yeah
'Cause it's never ending, yeah

I turn on the charm and
You're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny
You give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and
You hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and
And I seduce your sister

Two faces and friends in high places
I have the sleaze in my teeth
When I move I'm slick
Nothing ever sticks to me

It's never ending, yeah
It's never ending, yeah
The rules keep on bending, yeah
'Cause it's never ending, yeah

I turn on the charm and
You're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny
You give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and
You hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and
And I seduce your sister

Keep on pretending, yeah
It's all just pretending, yeah
Rules keep on bending, yeah
So just keep on spending, yeah

I turn on the charm and
You're down there on the tarmac
I say something funny
You give me all your money
A flash of my teeth and
You hand your car keys over
A flick of my wrist and
And I seduce your sister

The official video for "Eminent Sleaze" begins with a message, "In 2032, the Future Bites corporation and their premium priced high concept designer products account for 83% of all global transactions. Three years later, the human race is on the verge of extinction."

Steven Wilson stated about the album, "The Future Bites", this song belongs to, "It places the listener in a world of 21st century addictions. It's a place where on-going, very public experiments constantly take place into the affects of nascent technology on our lives. From out of control retail therapy, manipulative social media and the loss of individuality, The Future Bites is less a bleak vision of an approaching dystopia, more a curious reading of the here and now."
