VERSE 1:
     D                 Em         
The crawlers cover the floor in 
            D
the red ochre corridor.
                       Em     
For my second sight of people, 
                               D
they’ve more lifeblood than before.
                  Em             
They’re moving in time to a heavy 
         D
wooden door,
                          Em
Where the needle’s eye is winking, 
closing in on the poor.


CHORUS 1:
F#m                          
The carpet crawlers heed their 
           A
callers:
                           G      A
We’ve got to get in to get out
                           G      D
We’ve got to get in to get out
                   C      G  D
We’ve got to get in to get out.


VERSE 2:
                  Em             
There’s only one direction in the 
              D
faces that I see;
                    Em           
It’s upward to the ceiling, where 
                       D
the chamber’s said to be.
                          Em       
Like the forest fight for sunlight,
                           D
 that takes root in every tree.
                          Em
They are pulled up by the magnet, 
believing they’re free.


CHORUS 2:
F#m                          
The carpet crawlers heed their 
           A
callers:
                           G      A
We’ve got to get in to get out
                           G      D
We’ve got to get in to get out
                   C      G  D
We’ve got to get in to get out.


VERSE 3:
                           Em
Mild mannered supermen are held in 
kryptonite,
        D                       
And the wise and foolish virgins 
                    Em
giggle with their bodies glowing 
bright.
D                               
Through a door a harvest feast is 
   Em
lit by candlelight;
         D                         
It’s the bottom of a staircase that
 Em
 spirals out of sight.


CHORUS 3:
F#m                          
The carpet crawlers heed their 
           A
callers:
                           G      A
We’ve got to get in to get out
                           G      D
We’ve got to get in to get out
                   C      G  D
We’ve got to get in to get out.

The porcelain mannikin with 
Em
shattered skin fears attack.
    D                       
The eager pack lift up their 
          Em
pitchers - they carry all they lack.
     D                             
The liquid has congealed, which has
  Em
 seeped out through the crack,
        D                
And the tickler takes his 
   Em
stickleback.
