Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Sting me once behind the ear
I go numb from the inside out
Little jewel with a wicked wing
Dragging me where the light won't shout
You hum a tune and I follow close
Down the hallway of my own skull
I was free for a minute there
Now the minute's gone and the room is full
Pre-Chorus
You say it soft
You say it slow
You say it till I don't say no
Chorus
Emerald in the marrow
Emerald in the bone
You crawl into the quiet
And you make the quiet home
Emerald in the marrow
Nothing left to fight
You steer me like a vessel
Through the middle of the night
Verse 2
Somebody's talking on the radio
Smooth as honey on a rusty nail
Every word is a little hook
Every hook is a different tale
I hear the drums and I hear the sax
I hear a lie in a Sunday suit
Hand me a map to a golden age
Then sell me the same old route
Pre-Chorus
You say it plain
You say it proud
You say it to a nodding crowd
Chorus
Emerald in the marrow
Emerald in the bone
You crawl into the quiet
And you make the quiet home
Emerald in the marrow
Nothing left to fight
You steer me like a vessel
Through the middle of the night
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
Fold the paper fold the paper fold the paper
That's the whole parade
Sit me down sit me down sit me down
Tell me I've got it made
I can't move but I can hum along
I can't move but I can hum along
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Emerald in the marrow
Emerald in the bone
You crawl into the quiet
And you make the quiet home
Emerald in the marrow
Nothing left to fight
You steer me like a vessel
Through the middle of the night
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh
