THE CARPET CRAWLERS
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 DMaj7 C#m DMaj7
A salamander scurries into flame to be
C#m DMaj7
destroyed.
B5 DMaj7 B5 AMaj7
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on
EMaj7 AMaj7 EMaj7 AMaj7
celluloid.
F#6
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
C#
Hoping they'll find peace.
C#m DMaj7 C#m DMaj7 C#m
Each thought and gesture are caught in
DMaj7 C#m DMaj7
celluloid.
B5 DMaj7 B5
There's no hiding in my memory.
A7 Dsus2 A7 D
There's no room to avoid.
Em
The crawlers cover the floor in the red
D
ochre corridor.
Em
For my second sight of people, they've more
D
lifeblood than before.
Em
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden
D
door,
Em
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
F#m7 A
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
G A
Weve got to get in to get out
G D
Weve got to get in to get out
C Em D
Weve got to get in to get out.
D Em
There's only one direction in the faces that
D
I see;
Em
It's upward to the ceiling, where the
D
chambers said to be.
Em
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that
D
takes root in every tree.
Em
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free.
F#m7 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 Em D
We've got to get in to get out.
Em
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
D
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with
Em
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.
F#m7 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 Em D
We've got to get in to get out.
Em
The porcelain manikin with shattered skin fears attack.
D
The eager pack lift up their pitchers
Em
They carry all they lack.
D
The liquid has congealed, which has speed
Em
out through the crack,
D Em
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
F#m7 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 Em D
We've got to get in to get out.
