Wink of an Eye

from Mantra by Electroflesh

about

from the 1997 debut ep Mantra

lyrics

In the wink of an eye, watch you go by
Crocodile smile & advertisement eyes
PR Queen ad-mans dream
You stay on the scene ask me to leave

Face the truth
You'll never retain your youth
The silicone won't make you age
Every year bar in your cage

In the wink of an eye
Your yesterdays smile
Heroin look today's style
An emaciated death
Emphasized you cant forget
Modelling childrenwear
Well who the fuck cares

Face the truth
Where money's concerned
We don't care who we use
The message I send is geared to shock
Care what you act like
Don't be what you're not

With a wink of an eye
It's all a lie
Steve McQueen never died
Yes he drives a Ford
But not a Mustang anymore
In a world that always begs for more

Face the truth
You can't always be aloof
Conservatism is such a waste
But its better than the ignorance you rub in my face
