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 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 in 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 mannequin with shattered skin fears attack |
| 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 |
| 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» |
| The carpet crawlers heed their callers |
| «We've got to get in to get out» |
