Paroles de The Crawling

Something is crawling
Yes it's crawling
Out of a dark place
Into a light place
Something is spawning
Yes it's spawning
Out of a damp place
Into a dry place
Something is swarming
Yes it's swarming
Out of a flaky place
Into a scented place

I see the trail
The broken stems of corn
I see the shadow
But not the thing itself
I see the plume of smoke
On the horizon
I hear the shouts & screams
But I don't know much

Something is crawling

Why do you ask me?
Why do you touch me? Because there's nothing there
It's only flesh & blood

You think you've got her
& you're a lucky guy
But can you hold a fish?

You think you know her
You're so intuitive
But can you know a mist?

Yeah, how long do you want it?
How long have you got it, baby, flesh & blood?
Have you got it, baby, flesh & blood?
