[Intro] (Organ riff, detuning slightly with each repeat) [Verse 1] (Chord: Cmaj7 - B7(b9) - Bbmaj7 - A7(#5)) Marmalade is dripping from the sun Static crackles till the day is done A postman rides a bicycle of glass Delivering the letters from the past [Chorus] (Chord: C - Am - F - Fm - C/E - Eb+ - D7 - Dbmaj7) Static Marmalade, melting on my tongue Every word I say is wrong Every note I play is sung You're a signal breaking through the noise Losing all its poise [Verse 2] (Chord: F - Fm - Cmaj7/E - Ebdim7) The radio is playing yesterday Static voices have so much to say The organ hums a tune that won't stay still Climbing up and down the windowsill [Chorus] (Same collapsing progression) Static Marmalade, melting on my tongue Every word I say is wrong Every note I play is sung You're a signal breaking through the noise Losing all its poise [Bridge] (Chord: Bm7/F pedal → Emaj7/Bb pedal; short backwards guitar fill) The dial spins to find a place Where static turns into your face But every station fades to grey The song just static-s me away [Final Chorus] (Transposed up half-step, lands wrong again) Static Marmalade, burning on my tongue Every word I say is wrong Every note I play is sung Dancing through the interference Dancing through the interference [Outro] (Organ glissando downward, fades into white noise)
