The Carpet Crawlers Lyrics - Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis

There is lamb's 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 memory 

There's no room to avoid

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

The crawlers cover the floor 

In the red ocher corridor 

For my second sight of people 

They've more life blood 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 gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta 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 gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta 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 gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta get in to get out 

The porcelain mannequin 

With shattered skin fears attack 

And 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 gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta get in to get out 

We've gotta 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
