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 and wrapped a packed me shifty 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 all the 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, people party, party here with me.

Cause the party people's party puts the fear in me.

Let loose, let loose, 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

Could 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.
