Carpet Crawlers Genesis
GENESIS
THE CARPET CRAWLERS
SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD TUNING - NO CAPO
VERSE 1:
The c[D]rawlers cover the [Em]floor in the red ochre [D]corridor.
For my second sight of [Em]people, theyâ??ve more lifeblood than [D]before.
Theyâ??re moving i[Em]n time to a heavy wooden[D] door,
Where the needleâ??s eye i[Em]s winking, closing in on the poor.
CHORUS 1:
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers:[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[D]
Weâ??ve got to get [C]in to g[G]et [D]out.
VERSE 2:
Thereâ??s only one[Em] direction in the faces that [D]I see;
Itâ??s upward to the[Em] ceiling, where the chamberâ??s said[D] to 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 theyâ??re free.
CHORUS 2:
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers:[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[D]
Weâ??ve got to get [C]in to g[G]et [D]out.
VERSE 3:
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;
Itâ??s th[D]e bottom of a staircase tha[Em]t spirals out of sight.
CHORUS 3:
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers:[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[D]
Weâ??ve got to get [C]in to g[G]et [D]out.
VERSE 4:
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 4:
[F#m]The carpet crawlers heed their callers:[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[A]
Weâ??ve got to get in to ge[G]t out[D]
Weâ??ve got to get [C]in to g[G]et [D]out.
OUTRO:
