Lyrics The 5th Dimension

The 5th Dimension

Carpet Man

When you see some puddles on the ground

You lay down, so she don't have to walk around

You think that will protect her from the rain

But you'll never ever stop the pain

She walks all over you

You know she can, she knows she can

You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man

You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean

Like she's some kind of figurine

The world's so far below her, it's not her scene

And so she uses you to stand between

She walks all over you

You know she can, she knows she can

You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man

I would think you'd get tired of hurtin'

Every now and then

It's no good down there, that's for certain

And carpets do get thin

And that's when they have to be thrown away

That's what she'll say to herself, some sunny day

And she'll say, "Come to my wedding" and of course you do

And then the groom and her will have a dance on you

She walks all over you

You know she can, she knows she can

You're the carpet man, you're the carpet man

Carpet man

Carpet man

Carpet man

Carpet man
