Emaj7     Amaj7           Emaj7          Amaj7
 There is lambswool under my naked feet

    F#m6
The wool is soft and warm

          C#
Gives off some kind of heat

  C#m D/C#   C#m    D/C#   C#m      D/C#  C#m   D/C#
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed

 D   D6   D        D6   A
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth

       | Emaj7 Amaj7 | % |
On celluloid

    F#m6
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,

C#
Hoping they'll find peace

     C#m  D/C#   C#m  D/C#   C#m       D/C#  C#m  D/C#
Each thought and gesture are caught in cellu-loid

           D  D6         D        D6
There's no hi-ding in my memory

       | Asus4 A Asus4 A  | D | % |
There's no room        to avoid
[Verse 1]
D                        Em
  The crawlers cover the floor

                 D
In the red ochre corridor

                       Em
For my second sight of people

                              D
They've more lifeblood than before

                  Em                     D
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door

                          Em
Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor
[Chorus]
    F#m
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:

A                            G
  We've got to get in to get out

A                            G
  We've got to get in to get out

D/F#    D            C       G/B  | D | Em |
  We've got to get in to get out
[Verse 2]
D                    Em                          D
  There's only one direction in the faces that I see

                   Em
It's upward to the ceiling

                            D
Where the chamber's said to be

                          Em
Like the forest fight for sunlight

                         D
That takes root in every tree

                          Em                       [ F#m ]
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free
[Chorus]
    F#m
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:

A                            G

  We've got to get in to get out

D/F#    D            C       G/B  [ D ]
  We've got to get in to get out
[Verse 3]
D                           Em
 Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite

        D
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle

           Em
With their bodies glowing bright

D                                   Em
Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;

         D                          Em
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight
[Interlude] | F#m | % | [Chorus]
    F#m
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:

A                            G
  We've got to get in to get out

A                            G
  We've got to get in to get out ...
[Chorus]
    F#m
