The Carpet Crawlers

There is lamb’s wool under my naked feet\nThe wool is soft and warm\nIt gives off some kind of heat\nA salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed\nImaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid\nThe fleas cling to the golden fleece\nHoping they’ll find peace\nEach though and gesture are caught in celluloid\nThere’s no hiding in memory\nThere’s no room to avoid\nThe crawlers cover the floor\nIn the red ochre corridor\nFor my second sight of people\nThey’ve more lifeblood than before\nThey’re moving in time\nTo a heavy wooden door\nWhere the needle’s eye is winking\nClosing on the poor\nThe carpet crawlers heed their callers\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in\nTo get out\nThere’s only one direction\nIn the faces that I see\nAnd it’s upward to the ceiling\nWhere the chamber’s said to be\nLike a forest fight for sunlight\nThat takes root in every tree\nThey are pulled up by the magnet\nStill believing they’re free\nThe carpet crawlers heed their callers\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in\nTo get out\nMild-mannered supermen\nAre held in kryptonite\nAnd the wise and foolish virgins just giggle\nWith their bodies glowing bright\nThrough the door a harvest feast\nIs lit by candlelight\nIt’s the bottom of a staircase\nIt spirals out of sight\nThe carpet crawlers heed their callers\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in\nTo get out\nThe porcelain mannequin\nWith shattered skin fears attack\nAnd the eager pack lift up their pitchers\nThey carry all they lack\nThe liquid has congealed\nIt has seeped out through the crack\nAnd the tickler takes his stickleback\nThe carpet crawlers heed their callers\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in\nTo get out\n(Got to get in) We’ve gotta get in to get out (repeat)\nThe carpet crawlers heed their callers\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in to get out\nWe’ve gotta get in\nTo get out
