The Carpet Crawlers 1999 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[E]re is lambswool under
my naked [A]feet
[F#m]The wool is soft and warm
Gives [C#]off some kind of heat
A salaman[D]der scur[A]ries [D]into
[A]flame to [D]be des[A]troyed
[D]Imaginary creatures are tra[A]pped
in birth on cellu[E]loid
The [F#m]fleas cling to the golden fleece
[C#]Hoping they'll find peace
Each [C#m]thought [D]and ges[C#m]ture
[D]are cau[A]ght in cel[D]luloid
[C#m]There'[D]s no hiding in memory
There's [A]no room [D]to avoid

[Verse 2]
The crawlers cover [Em]the 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 in [Em]time to
a heavy wooden [D]door
Where the needle's eye is wink[Em]ing,
closing on the poor
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their
[Bm]caller[F#m] s[A]
"We've gotta get in to
get [G]out[A][G][A]
We've gotta get in to
get [G]out[A][G][D]
We've gotta get [C]in to get [Em]out"[G]
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]There's only one direc
[Em]tion in the faces that I [D]see
It's upward to the ceil[Em]ing,
where the chamber's said to [D]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
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed
their [A]callers
"We've gotta get in to
get [G]out[A][G][A]
We've gotta get in to get [G]out[D]
We've gotta get [C]in to get [Em]out"
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Mild- mannered supermen
[Em]are held in kryptonite
And [D]the 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 that
[Em]spirals out of [F#m]sight
The carpet crawlers heed their
[A]callers
"We've gotta get in to
get [G]out[A][G][A]
We've gotta get in to get [G]out
[A][G][F#m][A]
[G][A]

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

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

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

[Verse 8]
"We've [D]gotta get in to
get [Em]out
We've gotta get in to get out[D]"
The carpet crawlers heed their callers

[Verse 9]
[D]"We've gotta
get in to get out
[D]We've gotta get in to

[Outro 1]
get out"
[D][D][D][Em]
