Carpet Crawlers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]There [F#m]is lambswool under
[E]my naked [F#m]feet
The wool is soft and warm
Gives off [C#]some kind of heat
A sala[D]mander scurries into
flame to be destroyed
Imaginary [Bm]creatures are
[A]trapped in birth on celluloid
[E]The[F#m] fleas[E] cl[F#m]ing
to the golden fleece
[C#]Hoping they'll find peace
Each [D]thought and [C#m]gesture
[D]are caught in celluloi[C#m]d
[D]There's no hiding[Bm] in memory
There's [D]no room [A]to [D]avoid

[Verse 2]
The crawlers cover the [Em]floor in
the red ochre cor[D]ridor
For my second sight of [Em]people,
they've more lifeblood than be[D]fore
They're moving [Em]in time to a
heavy wooden [D]door
Where the needle's eye is [Em]winking,
closing on the poor
The [F#m]carpet crawlers heed their
[A]callers
"We've gotta get in to
[G]get [A]out
We've gotta get in to [G]get out[D]
We've gotta get [C]in to get [Em]out"[D]

[Verse 3]
There's only one direc[Em]tion
in the faces that [D]I see
It's upward to the [Em]ceiling,
where the chamber's said [D]to be
Like the forest fight for sun[Em]light,
that takes root in every [D]tree
They are pulled up by the mag[Em]net,
believing they're free
The [F#m]carpet crawlers heed
their [A]callers
"We've gotta get in to
get [G]out[A]
We've gotta get in to get [G]out[D]
We've gotta [C]get in to get [Em]out"

[Verse 4]
[D]Mild-mannered supermen
supermen are [Em]held in kryptonite
And the [D]wise and foolish virgins giggle
with their [Em]bodies glowing bright
[D]Through the door a harvest
feast is [Em]lit by candlelight
It's the [D]bottom of a staircase
[Em]that spirals out of sight
The [F#m]carpet crawlers heed
their caller[A]s
"We've gotta get in to get [G]out[A]
We've gotta get in to get [G]out
[D]We've gotta get in [C]to get out[Em]"

[Verse 5]
[D]The porcelain mannequin with
[Em]shattered skin fears attack
And the [D]eager pack lift up their pitchers,
[Em]they carry all they lack
The [D]liquid has congealed,
which has [Em]seeped out through the crack
And the [D]tickler takes his [Em]stickleback
The [F#m]carpet crawlers heed their callers
[A]"We've gotta get in to
get [G]out
[A]We've gotta get in to get out
We've gotta get in to get [G]out"[D]

[Verse 6]
"We've gotta get [C]in to get [Em]out
We've [D]gotta get in to get out
We've [Em]gotta get in to get out"

[Verse 7]
"We've [D]gotta get in to get out
We've [Em]gotta get in to get out
We've [D]gotta get in to get out"

[Verse 8]
"We've [Em]gotta get in to get out
We've [D]gotta get [Em]in to get out"

[Verse 9]
The [F#m]carpet crawlers heed their [D]callers
[F#m]"We've[A] gotta get in to get out[G]
[A]We've gotta get in to get out"
[G]
