Carpet Crawlers (Remastered 2008) - Genesis

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 ocher 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 a 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 manikin 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

We've got to get in to get out"
