The Carpet Crawl

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
