[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
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
