            THE CARPET CRAWLERS
          
[Intro]
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  C#m      Dmaj7 C#m   Dmaj7
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed
 B5  Dmaj7 B5      Dmaj7 Amaj7
Imaginary  creatures are trapped in birth 
        Emaj7  Amaj7  Emaj7    Amaj7
On celluloid

    F#m6
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
C#
Hoping they'll find peace
     C#m  Dmaj7  C#m  Dmaj7  C#m       Dmaj7 C#m  Dmaj7
Each thought and gesture are caught in cellu-loid
           Dmaj7 Bm         Dmaj7 Bm
There's no hi  - ding in my memory
        A7sus4   A7 A7sus4 A7 [ D ]
There's no room            to avoid


[Verse]
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 in 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                    C       Em/B   D 
  We've got to get in to get out


[Verse]
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
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                    C       Em/B   D 
  We've got to get in to get out


[Verse]
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 a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
         D                          Em  
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight


[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                    C       Em/B   D 
  We've got to get in to get out


[Verse]
D                           Em        
 The porcelain manikin with shattered skin fears attack
        D
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers  
Em
 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]
    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                    C       Em/B   D 
  We've got to get in to get out


[Interlude]
      D                     Em                 [ D ]
We've got to get out, we've got to get in to get out
      D                     Em                 [ D ]
We've got to get out, we've got to get in to get out
      D                     Em                 [ D ]
We've got to get out, we've got to get in to get out
      D                     Em                 [ F#m ]
We've got to get out, we've got to get in to get out


[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                    C       Em/B   D 
  We've got to get in to get out
(fade)
