The Carpet Crawl Lyrics - Genesis

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
