[E] [A] There is lamb's wool [E] under my naked [A] feet
The [F#m] wool is soft and warm, [C#] gives off some kind of heat
A [C#m] [C#m] salamander scurries [D] into [C#m] flame [D] to be [C#m] destroyed
[D] [Bm] Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth on [E] celluloid
[A] The [E] [A] [F#m] fleas cling to the golden fleece, [C#] hoping they'll find peace
[C#m] Each [D] thought [C#m] and [D] gesture, [C#m] a [D] god in [C#m] celluloid
[D] There's no [Bm] hiding in memory, [D] there's no wrong to avoid
The crawlers cover [Em] the floor in the red [D] ochre corridor
For my second sight [Em] of people, they've more lifeblood than [D] before
They're moving in [Em] time to a heavy [D] wooden door
Where the needle's [Em] eye is winking, closes mouth [F#m] for
The carpet crawlers, he dare call us
[A] We gotta get in to [G] get out
[A] We gotta get in to get [G] out
[D] We gotta get [C] in to [Em] get [D] out
There's only [Em] one direction in the faces that [D] I see
It's upward to [Em] the ceiling where the chamber's said [D] to be
Like a forest fire with [Em] a sunlight that takes root in every [D] tree
They are pulled up by [Em] the magnet, believing they're [F#m] free
The carpet crawlers, he dare call us
[A] We gotta get in to [G] get out
We [A] gotta get in to [G] get out
[D] We gotta get in [C] to [Em] get out
[D] Mildman and Superman [Em] are held in kryptonite
And [D] the wise and foolish merchants giggle with [Em] their bodies glowing bright
[D] Through the door of obvious peace, [Em] it's lit by candlelight
It's [D] the bottom of a staircase, but [Em] spirals out of sight
The [F#m] carpet crawlers, he dare call us
[A] We gotta get in to [G] get out
We [A] gotta get in to [G] get out
We [D] gotta get in [C] to [Em] get out
[D] The poor, sullen mannequin with [Em] shattered skin
Fears attack and [D] the eager back lift of their bitches
[Em] They carry all they lack
[D] The liquid has congealed, which [Em] has seeped out through the crack
Take [D] my blank cystic back
[Em] [F#m] The carpet crawlers, he dare call us
