GENESIS
THE CARPET CRAWLERS
SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD TUNING - NO CAPO
VERSE 1:
The cDrawlers cover the Emfloor in the red ochre Dcorridor.
For my second sight of Empeople, they've more lifeblood than beDfore.
They're moving in Emtime to a heavy wooden dDoor,
Where the needle's eye is Emwinking, closing in on the poor.
CHORUS 1:
F#mThe carpet crawlers heed their callers: A
We've got to get in to get Gout A
We've got to get in to get Gout D
We've got to get inC to getG ouDt.
VERSE 2:
There's only one dEmirection in the faces that I Dsee;
It's upward to the cEmeiling, where the chamber's said to Dbe.
Like the forest fight for Emsunlight, that takes root in every tDree.
They are pulled up by the Emmagnet, believing they're free.
CHORUS 2:
F#mThe carpet crawlers heed their callers: A
We've got to get in to get Gout A
We've got to get in to get Gout D
We've got to get inC to getG ouDt.
VERSE 3:
Mild mannered supermen are Emheld in kryptonite,
And the Dwise and foolish virgins giggle with their bEmodies glowing bright.
DThrough a door a harvest feast is lEmit by candlelight;
It's the Dbottom of a staircase that Emspirals out of sight.
CHORUS 3:
F#mThe carpet crawlers heed their callers: A
We've got to get in to get Gout A
We've got to get in to get Gout D
We've got to get inC to getG ouDt.
VERSE 4:
The porcelain mannikin with Emshattered skin fears attack.
The Deager pack lift up their pitchers Em- they carry all they lack.
The lDiquid has congealed, which has sEmeeped out through the crack,
And the Dtickler takes his stEmickleback.
CHORUS 4:
F#mThe carpet crawlers heed their callers: A
We've got to get in to get Gout A
We've got to get in to get Gout D
We've got to get inC to getG ouDt.
OUTRO:
C - Dm x4
FADING CHORUS:
F#mThe carpet crawlers heed their callers: A
We've got to get in to get Gout A
We've got to get in to get Gout D
We've got to get inC to getG ouDt........................
