Crawling Can Be Beautiful - Les Savy Fav

I was a member of a succescful society

There was a sucesfull 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
