[D] [Em]
[D] [Em] [D]
Crawlers cover the [Em] floor
In the red [D] oak corridor
For my second [Em] sight of people
Leave more light up [D] than before
I'm moving [Em] in time
To a heavy wooden [D] door
Where the needle's eye [Em] is winking
Closing on the hall
[F#m] The carpet crawlers
Leave their corners
[A] We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, out, [A] out
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, [D] out, out
We've gotta get in
[C] To [Em] get out
[D]
There's only one [Em] direction
In the faces that I [D] see
And it's upward to that [Em] ceiling
Where the chamber's served [D] to be
Like a forest fire [Em] on a Sunday morning
That takes root in every [D] tree
We are pulled up by the [Em] madmen
And they're leaving the breeze
[F#m] The carpet crawlers
Leave their corners
[A]
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, [A] out, out
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, [D] out, out
We've gotta get in
[C] To [Em] get out
[D]
Mountain men and supermen
[Em] Are held in crimson night
And [D] the police surgeons
Giggle with [Em] their bodies glowing bright
[D] And through the door
A harvest beast [Em] is lit by candle
It's [D] the bottom of a staircase
That [Em] spirals out of sight
The [F#m] carpet crawlers
Leave their corners
[A]
We've gotta get in to get [G] out
Out, [A] out, out, out
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, [Bm] out, out
[D]
We've gotta get in
[C] To [Em] get out
[D] The porcelain mannequin with [Em] shattered skin
Feet are tight
And [D] the airbag lift of their features
[Em] They carry all they like
[D] The liquid has congealed
Which [Em] has seeped out through the crack
And [D] the tickler takes his stickleback
[Em] Back, back, back, back, back, back
[F#m] The carpet crawlers
Leave their corners
[A] Oh, oh, oh
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, out, [A] out, out
We've gotta get in to [G] get out
Out, [Bm] out, out, [D] out
We've gotta get [C] in
To get [Em] out
[D]
We've gotta get in to [Em] get out
We've gotta get in to get [D] out
You know, oh, oh
We've gotta get in [Em] to get out
Get out, get out
[D] Oh, oh, oh
We've gotta get in [Em] Get out
Get out
[D] Yes, we've gotta get in
To [Em] get out
Get out, get [F#m] out, get out back, call us, need them, call us
[A]
We gotta get in to get [G] out
[A]
We gotta get in [G] to get out
[Bm]
[D] We gotta get [C] in to get [Em] out
