Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
I been counting emerald wings
Seven of them on the window sill
Something buzzing in the marrow of me
Turn the radio down let it spill
A sting that teaches walking
A sting that teaches still
Pre-Chorus
So they told me
So they sold me
A promise in a paper cup
I drank it up
I drank it up
Chorus
Silent narration
Running through the nation
Silent narration
Nobody asks a single question
Silent narration
Feed it to the congregation
Silent narration
Silent narration
Post-Chorus
Mm-hmm mm-hmm
Oh-oh oh-oh
Verse 2
Contagion of persuasion on a tuesday
Little whispers wearing Sunday clothes
Proclamation on the kitchen table
Nobody reading what nobody knows
Constipation in the capitol
Everything is jammed up slow
Give me a formation or a feeling
Give me something I can hold
Pre-Chorus
So they told me
So they sold me
A promise in a paper cup
I drank it up
I drank it up
Chorus
Silent narration
Running through the nation
Silent narration
Nobody asks a single question
Silent narration
Feed it to the congregation

Post-Chorus
Mm-hmm mm-hmm
Oh-oh oh-oh
Guitar Solo
Bridge
Whatever it takes
Whatever it breaks
Whatever it makes
Whatever it fakes
I will not bend my knee
To a rumor wearing my face
To a rumor wearing my face
Chorus
Silent narration
Running through the nation
Silent narration
Nobody asks a single question
Silent narration
Feed it to the congregation
