Creepy Crawling

Loose door jam, light left on
The oldest national lottery
Enter Johnny go darkly
Come to spoil my party
Smell of feces lingers
Echo of light fingers
Cold comfort blankets
Steeped in creeping anger

Flatfoot comes poking
Compounding my misery
Grinding pestle and mortar
Adding insult to injury
If only this, if only that
If only in my guts
See my life before my eyes
Trampled underfoot

Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling

All the creeps go creepy crawling
Same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby
Seem alright?

What a wonderful world

Corvino, carrion crow
Skulking with his mobile
Slippery peat bog eyes
Stick on smiley smile
Small print like quicksand
Not a wooden leg to stand on
Sinking through my stomach
The ground beneath me gone

Free fall, call Ophelia
Clutching at straw
Mixed with bloody feathers
From scruff of neck of crow
Johnny go, Johnny gone
Too much drink in your tum, tum, tum
See this finger, see this thumb
See this fist and watch it come

Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling
Creepy crawling

All the creeps go creepy crawling
Same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby
Seem alright?

All the creeps go creepy crawling
Same thing every night
How can stealing candy from a baby
Seem alright?

Creepy crawling
