[E] [A] There is lamb's wool [E] under my naked [A] feet [F#m] The wool is soft and warm, [C#] gives off some kind of heat
[D] into [C#m] flame [D] to be [C#m] destroyed [D] [Bm] Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth [E] on celluloid
The [E] [A] [F#m] fleas cling to the golden fleece, [C#] hoping they'll find peace
[D] gesture, [C#m] a [D] card in [C#m] celluloid [D] [Bm] There's no hiding in memory, [D] there's no room to hide
crawlers cover [Em] the floor, it's a red [D] ochre corridor
sight [Em] of people, they've more [D] lifeblood than food
[Em] moving in time to a heavy [D] wooden door
[Em] eye is winking, closing on [F#m] the door

[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] There is lamb's wool [E] under my 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 scurries [D] into [C#m] flame [D] to be [C#m] destroyed [D] _ [Bm] Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth [E] on 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] card in [C#m] celluloid [D] [Bm] There's no hiding in memory, [D] there's no room to hide
The crawlers cover [Em] the floor, it's a red [D] ochre corridor
On my second sight [Em] of people, they've more [D] lifeblood than food
They're [Em] moving in time to a heavy [D] wooden door
Well, a needle's [Em] eye is winking, closing on [F#m] the door
The carpet crawlers, he never called us
[A] You gotta get in to [G] get out
_ [A] _ You gotta get [G] in to get out
_ [D] _ You 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 through [Em] the ceiling, where the chamber's said [D] to be
Like a forest fire, [Em] the sunlight takes root in every [D] tree
They're pulled up by [Em] the magnet, leaving their [F#m] feet
The carpet crawlers, he never called us
[A] _ You gotta [D] get in to [G] get out
You [A] _ gotta get in to [G] get out
_ _ [D] You gotta get in [C]
to [Em] get out
[D] Milder than a superman, [Em] a hell-bent kryptonite
And [D] the wise and foolish virgins, keep their [Em] bodies glowing bright
[D] Through the door above his beast, [Em] he's lit by candle
Hits [D] the bottom of a staircase, but [Em]
spirals out of sight
[F#m] The carpet crawlers, he never called us
[A] You gotta get in to [G] get out
_ _ [D] You gotta get in to [G] get out
_ _ [D] You gotta get in [C]
to [Em] get out
[D] A false sudden mannequin, with [Em] shattered skin, fears attack
[D] And the eager blacklift of their features, [Em] they carry all they lack
[D] The liquid has been killed, which [Em] has seeped out through the crack
[D] The tickler makes his stick crack
[Em] _
_ _ [F#m] The carpet crawlers, he never called us
[A] _ You gotta get in to [G] get out
You [D] _ [A] gotta get in [G] to get out
[Em] _ [D] _ You gotta get [C] in to [Em] get out
[D] _ You [Em] gotta get in to get [D] out
You [Em] gotta get in to get [D] out
The carpet crawlers, _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
he never called [A] us
You gotta get [G] in to get out
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
