The Crawling
Robyn Hitchcock
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?
Why do you ask me?
Why do you touch me?
Because there's nothing left
It's only flesh & blood
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?
