@[kdpPhila:29323] @[proggie:29324] You're right about religion, it describes an encounter with a group of Monks. Anyone who's ever owned the album and knows the story of Rael. While the story and lyrics are somewhat surreal, the describe the adventures of a character named Rael. The carpet crawlers was a group of monks that Rael encounters in his journey through NYC. Too many post modernists who just like to hear themselves intellectualize on this page... |

Anyone who's ever owned the album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway knows the story of Rael which Peter Gabriel wrote on the inner sleeve. While the story and lyrics are somewhat surreal, they describe the adventures of a character named Rael. The carpet crawlers was a group of monks that Rael encounters in his abstract journey through NYC. Yall need to ease up on the weed and learn to READ, you are seriously trippin... |

@[proggie:29321] No offense, but that's a ridiculous theory. Anyone who's ever owned the album and knows the story of Rael. While the story and lyrics are somewhat surreal, the describe the adventures of a character named Rael. The carpet crawlers was a group of monks that Rael encounters in his abstract journey through NYC. Yall need to ease up on the weed and learn to READ. You are seriously trippin.
The song as another episode in Rael's surreal adventure in NYC. If you read Peter's story on the inner-sleeve of the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway it's the story about a teenage kid who gets released from Juvy hall (Pontiac Reformatory) and sets out on a quest to find himself. The carpet crawlers were a group of monks - just more of the strange people and challenges he encounters a long the way. |
