Artist : Genesis
Song : Carpet crawlers
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
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
It's 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'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"
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 outWe've got to get
in to get out
We've got to get in to get out ... "
