[E] [A] There is lamb's [E] wool on the man-naked [A] feet.
[F#m] The wool is soft and warm, [C#] gives off some kind of heat.
[C#m] A [D] [C#m] salamander [D] scurries [C#m] into [D] flame to [C#m] be [D] destroyed.
[Bm] Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth on [E] celluloid.
[A] The [E] [A]
[F#m] fleas cling to the golden [C#] fleece, hoping they'll find peace.
[C#m] Each [D] [C#m] thought and [D] gesture [C#m] a [D] card in [C#m]
[D] celluloid.
[Bm] There's no hiding in memory, [D] there's no wrong to avoid.
The crawlers [Em] cover the floor in the red [D] ochre corridor.
On my second sight, [Em] a feeble, made more life [D] blood than before.
They're [Em] moving in time to a heavy [D] wooden door.
Where the needle's [Em] eye is winking, closing on the [F#m] poor.
The carpet crawlers, he dare call us.
[A] We gotta [G] get him to get out.
[A]
We gotta get [G] him to get out.
[D]
We gotta get [C] him 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 fight [Em] for sunlight that takes root [D] in every tree.
They're pulled [Em] up by the magnet, leaving [F#m] there free.
The carpet crawlers, he dare call [A] us.
We gotta get [G] him to get out.
[A]
We gotta get [G] him to get out.
[D]
We gotta get [C] him [Em] to get out.
[D] Mild-man out superman, [Em] are held in cryptonight.
[D] The foolish virgins [Em] giggle with their bodies glowing bright.
[D] Through the door a harvest [Em] feast is lit by candlelight.
[D] It's the bottom of a staircase, [Em] but spirals out of sight.
[F#m] The carpet crawlers, he dare call us.
[A]
We gotta get [G] him to get out.
[A]
We gotta get [G] him to get out.
[D]
We gotta get [C] him to [Em] get out.
[D] The false sudden mannequin [Em] with shattered skin, fears attack.
[D] And the eager back lift up their [Em] bitches, they carry all they lack.
[D] The liquid has congealed, [Em] which has seeped out through the cracks.
[D] The tickler takes his tickle back.
[Em] [F#m] The carpet crawlers, he dare call us.
