"The Carpet Crawlers" by Genesis

He returns from his mixed-up memories to the passage he was
previously stuck in. this time he discovers a long carpeted
corridor.

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 walls are painted in red ochre and are marked by strange
insignia, some looking like a bulls-eye, others of birds and
boats. further down the corridor, he can see some people;
all kneeling.
Broken sighs and murmurs they struggle, in their slow motion
to move towards a wooden door at the end. having seen only
the inanimate bodies in the grand parade of lifeless
packaging, rael rushe
Talk to them.

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 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.

What's going on' he cries to a muttering monk, who conceals
a yawn and replies it's a long time yet before the dawn. a
sphinx-like crawler calls his name saying don
K him, the monk is drunk. each one of us is trying to reach
the top of the stairs, a way out will await us there. not
asking how he can move freely, our hero goes boldly through
the door.
D a table loaded with food, is a spiral staircase going up
into the ceiling.

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 mannikin 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.
