Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

There's only one direction
In the faces that I see
It's upward to the ceiling
Where the chamber's said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight
That takes root in every tree
They're pulled up by the magnet
Believing they're free

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

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 candle light
It's the bottom of a staircase
That spirals out of sight

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

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

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

Got to get in
We've got to get in
To get out
Got to get in
We've got to get in
To get out
Got to get in
We've got to get in
To get out
Got to get in
We've got to get in
To get out

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in
