[Verse 1]
The crawlers cover the floor
In the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people
They've more lifeblood than before
They're moving in time
To a heavy wooden door
Where the needle's eye is winking
Closing on the poor

[Chorus]
The carpet crawlers heed their callers
"We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out, out
We'vе got to get in to get out"

[Verse 2]
Therе's only one direction
In the faces that I see
And it's upward to that ceiling
Where the chamber's said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight
That takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet
Believing they're free
[Chorus]
The carpet crawlers heed their callers
"We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out"

[Verse 3]
Mild mannered supermen
Are held in kryptonite
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle
With their bodies glowing bright
And through the door, a harvest feast
Is lit by candlelight
It's the bottom of a staircase
That spirals out of sight

[Chorus]
The carpet crawlers heed their callers, oh
"We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out"

[Verse 4]
The porcelain mannequin
With shattered skin fears attack
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers
They carry all they lack
The liquid has congealed
Which has seeped out through the crack
And the tickler takes his stickleback
Back, back, back, back, back, back
[Chorus]
The carpet crawlers heed their callers, oh
"We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out"

[Bridge]
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
D'you know, you know, we've got to get in to get out
Get out, get out, get out
No, no, we've got to get in to get out
Get out
Yes, we've got to get in to get out
Get out, get out

[Chorus]
The carpet crawlers heed their callers
"We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out, out
We've got to get in to get out"
