Carpet Crawlers

The c[D]rawlers cover the [Em]floor in the red ochre [D]corridor.
For my second sight of [Em]people, they’ve more lifeblood than be[D]fore.
They’re moving in [Em]time to a heavy wooden d[D]oor,
Where the needle’s eye is [Em]winking, closing in on the poor.

[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers: [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [D]
We’ve got to get in[C] to get[G] ou[D]t.

There’s only one d[Em]irection in the faces that I [D]see;
It’s upward to the c[Em]eiling, where the chamber’s said to [D]be.
Like the forest fight for [Em]sunlight, that takes root in every t[D]ree.
They are pulled up by the [Em]magnet, believing they’re free.

[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers: [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [D]
We’ve got to get in[C] to get[G] ou[D]t.

Mild mannered supermen are [Em]held in kryptonite,
And the [D]wise and foolish virgins giggle with their b[Em]odies glowing bright.
[D]Through a door a harvest feast is l[Em]it by candlelight;
It’s the [D]bottom of a staircase that [Em]spirals out of sight.

[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers: [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [D]
We’ve got to get in[C] to get[G] ou[D]t.

The porcelain mannikin with [Em]shattered skin fears attack.
The [D]eager pack lift up their pitchers [Em]- they carry all they lack.
The l[D]iquid has congealed, which has s[Em]eeped out through the crack,
And the [D]tickler takes his st[Em]ickleback.

[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers: [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [A]
We’ve got to get in to get [G]out    [D]
We’ve got to get in[C] to get[G] ou[D]t.
