Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ,The movie - Carpet Crawlers lyrics

rate me

<br>

There is lambswool under my naked feet.<br>

The wool is soft and warm,<br>

Gives off some kind of heat.<br>

A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.<br>

Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid.<br>

The fleas cling to the golden fleece,<br>

Hoping theyll find peace.<br>

Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.<br>

Theres no hiding in my memory.<br>

Theres no room to void.<br>

<br>

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.<br>

For my second sight of people, theyve more lifeblood than before.<br>

Theyre moving. Theyre moving in time to a heavy wooden door,<br>

Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor.<br>

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:<br>

Weve got to get in to get out<br>

Weve got to get in to get out.<br>

<br>

Theres only one direction in the faces that I see;<br>

Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be.<br>

Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.<br>

They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that theyre free.<br>

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:<br>

Weve got to get in to get out<br>

Weve got to get in to get out.<br>

<br>

Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,<br>

And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.<br>

Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight;<br>

Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.<br>

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:<br>

Weve got to get in to get out<br>

Weve got to get in to get out.<br>

<br>

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.<br>

The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the carry all they lack.<br>

The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,<br>

And the tickler takes his stickleback.<br>

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:<br>

Weve got to get in to get out<br>

Weve got to get in to get out.<br>

<br>
