The Carpet Crawlers

In the style of

Genesis

Lyrics

there is lambswool
under my naked feet

the wool is soft and warm
gives off some kind of heat

a salamander scurries

into flame to be destroyed

imaginary creatures
are trapped in birth

on celluloïd

the fleas cling to
the golden fleece

hoping they'll find peace

each thought and gesture

are caught in celluloïd

there's no hiding in memory

there's no room to avoid

the crawlers cover the floor

in the red ocher corridor

for my second sight of people
they've more lifeblood

than before

they're moving in time
to a heavy wooden door

where the needle's eye is
winking, closing in the porch

the carpet crawlers
heed their callers

we've got to get in
to get out, out

we've got to get in
to get out, out

we've got to get
in to get out

there's only one direction

in the faces that i see

it's upward to the ceiling
where the chamber's

said to be

like a forest fight for sunlight
that takes root in every tree

they're pulled up by the
magnets believing they're free

the carpet crawlers
heed their callers

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

mild mannered supermen

are held in kryptonite

and the wise and foolish
virgins giggle with

their bodies glowing bright

through the door a harvest
feast is lit by candlelight

it's the bottom of a staircase
that spirals out of sight

the carpet crawlers
heed their callers

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

porcelain manikin
with shattered

skin fears attack

and the eager pack lift up
the pitchers

and they carry all they lack

the liquid has congealed
which has seeped out

through the crack

and the tickler takes

his stickleback

the carpet crawlers
heed their callers

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

got to get out, got to get out
got to get out, got to get out

got to get out, got to get out
got to get out, got to get out

got to get out, got to get out
got to get out, got to get out

got to get out, got to get out
got to get out, got to get out

the carpet crawlers
heed their callers

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out

we've got to get
in to get out
