VERSE 1:
D Em D The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor. Em D For my second sight of people, 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 in on the poor.
CHORUS 1:
F#m A The carpet crawlers heed their callers: G A We’ve got to get in to get out G D We’ve got to get in to get out C G D We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 2:
Em D There’s only one direction in the faces that I see; Em D It’s upward to the ceiling, where the chamber’s said to be. Em D Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree. Em They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free.
CHORUS 2:
F#m A The carpet crawlers heed their callers: G A We’ve got to get in to get out G D We’ve got to get in to get out C G D We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 3:
Em Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite, D Em And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright. D Em Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight; D Em It’s the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
CHORUS 3:
F#m A The carpet crawlers heed their callers: G A We’ve got to get in to get out G D We’ve got to get in to get out C G D We’ve got to get in to get out.
VERSE 4:
Em The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack. D Em The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack. D Em The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack, D Em And the tickler takes his stickleback.
CHORUS 4:
F#m A The carpet crawlers heed their callers: G A We’ve got to get in to get out G D We’ve got to get in to get out C G D We’ve got to get in to get out.
OUTRO:
C - Dm x4
FADING CHORUS:
F#m A The carpet crawlers heed their callers: G A We’ve got to get in to get out G D We’ve got to get in to get out C G D We’ve got to get in to get out........................
