Carpet Crawlers Lyrics - Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - 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 void 

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. 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

There's only one direction in the faces that I see 

It's upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be 

Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree 

They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that 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 

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 

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack 

The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the 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.
