There is lambswool under my naked feet 
    F#m6 
The wool is soft and warm, 
          C# 
Gives off some kind of heat 
  C#m Dmaj7  C#m    Dmaj7  C#m      Dmaj7 C#m   Dmaj7 
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed 
 B5  Dmaj7 B5      Dmaj7 Amaj7 
Imaginary  creatures are trapped in birth  
        Emaj7  Amaj7  Emaj7    Amaj7 
On celluloid  
    F#m6 
The fleas cling to the golden fleece, 
C# 
Hoping they'll find peace 
     C#m  Dmaj7  C#m  Dmaj7  C#m       Dmaj7 C#m  Dmaj7 
Each thought and gesture are caught in cellu-loid

There's no hi  - ding in my memory 
        A7sus4   A7 A7sus4 A7 [ D ] 
There's no room            to avoid

D                        Em 
  The crawlers cover the floor  
                 D 
In the red ochre corridor 
                       Em 
For my second sight of people 
                              D 
They've more lifeblood than before 
                  Em                     D 
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door 
                          Em 
Where the needle's eye is winking, closing in on the poor
[Refrain]
    F#m 
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: 
A                            G 
  We've got to get in to get out 
A                            G 
  We've got to get in to get out 
D                    C       Em/B   D

[Strophe]
D                     Em                       D 
There's only one direction in the faces that I see 
                      Em 
It's upward to the ceiling 
                            D 
Where 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
[Refrain]
    F#m 
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: 
A                            G

[Strophe]
D                           Em 
 Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite, 
             D 
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle  
           Em 
With their bodies glowing bright 
D                                 Em 
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight; 
         D                          Em 
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight
[Refrain]

  We've got to get in to get out
[Strophe]
D                           Em 
 The porcelain manikin with shattered skin fears attack 
        D 
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers   
Em 
 They carry all they lack 
    D                               Em 
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack, 
        D                                Em  
And the tickler takes his stickleback
[Refrain]

      D                     Em                 [ D ] 
We've got to get out, we've got to get in to get out 
      D                     Em                 [ D ]
