The Carpet Crawlers

There is lambs wool 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 celluloid

The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping they'll find peace

Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid

There's no hiding in memory
There's no room to avoid

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre 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 on the poor

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

There's only one direction in the faces that I see
Its upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they are 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
Its 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

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers- 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.
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

...To get out
We got to get in to get out
We got to get in (get out to get in)
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, got to...
Got to get in to get out
(Got to get in to get out)
We got to get in to get out
(Got to get in to get out)
We got to get in to get out
We got to get in to get out
Get in to get out

Got to get in (get out) to get out
Got to get in to get out
Get out, get out, get out
