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 ocher 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 needles 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 chambers 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 manikin 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
