The Carpet Crawlers 1999 Lyrics

[Intro: Peter Gabriel]
There is lamb's wool under my naked feet
The wool is soft and warm
Gives off some kind of heat
A salamander scurries
Into flame to be destroyed
Imaginary creatures
Are trapped in birth on celluloid
The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping they'll find peace
Each thought and gesture
Are caught in celluloid
There's no hiding in my memory
There's no room to avoid

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

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
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" (Out)

[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
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 are pulled up by the magnet
Believing they're free

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
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" (Out)

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

[Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel]
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)
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)

[Outro: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins]
To get out
We've got to get in to get out, get out of the chamber
We've got to get in, get out, get in, got to, got to
We've got to get in to get out, oh, got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out, gotta get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out, get in to get out
Got to get in, get in, to get out
Got to get in to get out
