Genesis

   D                 Em                     D
1. The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
   Em                                    D
   For my second sight of people, they’ve more lifeblood than before.
   Em                      D
   They’re moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
   Em
   Where the needle’s eye is winking, closing in on the poor.

2. There’s only one direction in the faces that I see;
   Em                                  D
   It’s upward to the ceiling, where the chamber’s said to be.
   Em                                  D
   Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
   Em
   They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free.

3. Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
   D                                           Em
   And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.
   D                                  Em
   Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
   D                          Em
   It’s the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.

4. The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
   D                                 Em
   The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack.
   D                               Em
   The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
   D                   Em
   And the tickler takes his stickleback.
