A loose door-jam, a light left on The oldest national lottery Enter Johnny-Go-Darkly Come to spoil my party Smell of faces 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
All the creeps go creepy crawling Same thing every night How can stealing candy from a baby Seem alright?
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
All the creeps go creepy crawling Same thing every night How can stealing candy from a baby Seem alright?
