The Carpet Crawlers Genesis
INTRO:
[E]There is [F#m7/E]lambswool under my [E]naked feet.[F#m7/E]
[F#m7]The wool is soft and warm,
- gives [C#]off some kind of heat.
A sala[C#m]mander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
[D]Imaginary creatures are [A]trapped in birth on cellu[E]loid.
The [F#m7]fleas cling to the golden fleece,
[C#]Hoping they'll find peace.
Each [C#m]thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
Theres no [D]hiding in my memory.
Theres [A]no room to [D]avoid.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE:
The c[D]rawlers cover the [Em]floor in the red ochre [D]corridor.
For my second sight of [Em]people, they've more lifeblood than be[D]fore.
They're moving in [Em]time to a heavy wooden d[D]oor,
Where the needle's eye is [Em]winking, closing in on the poor.
CHORUS:
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers: [A]
We've got to get in to get [G]out [A]
We've got to get in to get [G]out [D]
We've got to get in[C] to get[G] ou[D]t.
There's only one d[Em]irection in the faces that I [D]see;
It's upward to the c[Em]eiling, where the chambers said to [D]be.
Like the forest fight for [Em]sunlight, that takes root in every t[D]ree.
They are pulled up by the [Em]magnet, believing they're free.
(CHORUS)
Mild mannered supermen are [Em]held in kryptonite,
And the [D]wise and foolish virgins giggle with their b[Em]odies glowing bright.
[D]Through a door a harvest feast is l[Em]it by candlelight;
It's the [D]bottom of a staircase that [Em]spirals out of sight.
(CHORUS)
The porcelain mannikin with [Em]shattered skin fears attack.
The [D]eager pack lift up their pitchers [Em]- they carry all they lack.
The l[D]iquid has congealed, which has s[Em]eeped out through the crack,
And the [D]tickler takes his st[Em]ickleback.
(CHORUS)
OUTRO (x4):
[D]......[Em]......
(CHORUS)
FADING CHORUS (Repeat many times):
[Em]got to get in to get [D]out (got to get in to get out)
.......
