Crawling Can Be Beautiful

I was a member of a successful society. There was a successful someone inside of me But then it turned around And inside out and upside down. They trapped an wrapped and packed Me shifty out of town. Crawling can be beautiful It sure beats standing still Crawling on your hands and knees Takes self-control and skill. Can we declare, though scared, This room to be a sovereign state Where citizens share skins And sins and copulate. 'cause if we can I think we should And shouldn't waste a breath. A baby place is faced With settling on baby steps. People party here with me. Cause the party people's party Puts the fear in me. Let loose here with me. Cause suits suit suits But the noose suits thee. Crawling can be beautiful It sure beats standing still Crawling on your hands and knees Can be a show of will. Who here finds this world distracting? Who here finds this world a bore? Who here thinks we're all play acting And that the show's piss poor? I for one am dazzled, I don't care if dazzled blind, Rapt, enraptured, captured By every little thing I find. --- Crawling Can Be Beautiful - Les Savy Fav
