[A] There is lambs who are [E] under my naked [A] feet
[F#m] The wool is soft and warm, gives [C#] off some kind of heat
A [C#m] salamander scurries into flame to be [C#m] destroyed
[Bm] Imaginary creatures [A] are trapped in birth on [E] celluloid
[E] [A]
[F#m] The fleas cling to the golden fleece, [C#] hoping they'll find peace
Each thought [C#m] and gesture, a card in celluloid
[Bm] There's no hiding in memory, there's no [D] room to hide
The crawlers cover [Em] the floor, in the red ochre [D] 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, closing on the [F#m] pore
The carpet crawlers, he dare to call us
[A] We gotta get him to [G] get out
[A]
We gotta get him to get [G] 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 the forest fire, [Em] the sunlight that takes root in every [D] tree
They're pulled up by [Em] the magnet, believing they're free
[F#m] The carpet crawlers, he dare to call us
[A] We gotta get him to [G] get out

We gotta get him to [G] get out
[D]
We gotta get him [C] to [Em] get out
[D]
Mild men are supermen, [Em] are held in kryptonite
And [D] the wise and foolish virgins giggle, with [Em] their bodies glowing bright
[D] Through the door of Harvest Feast, [Em] is lit by candlelight
At [D] the bottom of a staircase, a [Em] spiral's out of sight
[F#m] The carpet crawlers, he dare to call us
[A]
We gotta get him to [G] get out
[A]
We gotta get him to [G] get out
We [D]
gotta get him [C] to [Em] get out
[D] The false, sudden mannequin, with [Em] shattered skin, fears attack
And [D] the eager back, lift up their bitches, [Em] they carry all they lack
[D] The liquid has congealed, which [Em] has seeped out through the crack
[D]
Dickler takes his dickle back
