[E]
There [A] is lamb's wool [E] under my naked feet [A] [F#m] The wool is soft and warm, [C#]
gives off some kind
of heat [C#m]
[D] [C#m] Salamanders [D] curls into [C#m]
flame [D] to be [A] destroyed
[D]
Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth [E]
Uncelluloid
[A] [E]
[F#m]
Fleas cling to the golden [C#] fleece, hoping they'll find peace
[C#m] Each [D] thought [C#m] and gesture, [D] [C#m] a card [D] in [C#m] celluloid [D] There's no hiding in my [Bm] memory, [D]
there's
no [A] need [D] [A] to [D]
avoid
The crawlers bubble [Em] the floor In the red ochre [D]
corridor
For my second sight [Em] of people, they've no life but died [D] before
They're moving in [Em]
time to the heavy woven [D] door
Where the needle's eye [Em] is linking, closing on the pole
[F#m] The carpet crawlers heed their callers
[A]
We've gotta get in to [C#] get out
[A] [G] We've [A]
gotta get in to get [C#] out

We've gotta get in [C]
to [Em] get out

[D]
There's only one [Em] direction in the faces that [D] I see
Subward to my [Em]
seating, where the chain is said [D] to be
Like a forest, find the [Em] sunlight, it takes root in every [D] tree
They are pulled up by [Em] the magnet, leaving their [F#m] food
The carpet crawlers heed their callers
[A] We've gotta get in to [G] get out
We've [A]
gotta get in to [G] get out
[D]
We've gotta get [C] in to [Em] get out
[D]
My man and Superman [Em] are held in cryptonight
[D] And the wise and foolish virgins kick [Em] with their bodies glowing bright
[D]
Through the door, a harvest feast [Em] is lit by candlelight
It's [D] the bottom of a staircase, [Em]
spirals out of sight
[F#m]
The carpet crawlers heed their [A] callers
We've gotta get in to get [Em] out
[G] We've [A]
gotta get in to get out
[G] The [F#m]
carpet crawlers heed their [A] callers
