[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

[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 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
