The Carpet Crawlers 1999 Songtext / Lyric

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 my 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 a 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

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"



The carpet crawlers heed their callers

"We've got to get in to get out

We've got to get in to get out"



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



We've got to get in to get out

We've got to get in to get out

Got to get in to get out

Got to get in to get out
