The Red Umbrella Songtext
von Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears

Beyond the railing there lived a lady plain
(With a bitter man in her way)
She dreamed in colors, her isolation grey
(Sure to carry her to the grave)
Is she gonna pull herself together?
Is she gonna weather him today?
(Is she gonna weather, is she gonna weather)
(Is she gonna weather him today?)
(Who she gonna follow? Is she gonna grovel in her sorrow?)

But tomorrow will be a brighter day
When the bell rings to take her little blues away
They′ve been waiting, congregating

All the people saying, "Hey, OK, if you want to break away
Follow the red umbrella
When you can't take another lonely day
Another day, and you want to run away
Follow the red umbrella (the red umbrella in the rain)"
He-hey


She leaves the stable
They make her "Angel Face" (put a ruby into her lace)
No competition, nobody left to race (in a party you know your place)
Pushing through the unassuming masses
Selling bloody passes to the play
(Selling bloody passes, selling bloody passes)
(Selling bloody passes to the play)
(Are they gonna follow? Are they gonna see the new tomorrow?)

And the arrows go shooting through the rain
And the gallows are hardly twenty steps away
An eraser to replace her

All the people saying, "Hey (hey), OK (OK), if you want to break away
Follow the red umbrella
When you can′t take another lonely day (hey)
Another day, and you want to run away
Follow the red umbrella (the red umbrella in the rain)"

Hey, OK, if you want to break away
Follow the red umbrella
Another day, and you want to run away
Follow the red umbrella
Red umbrella in the rain

Umbrella in the rain
Umbrella in the rain
Umbrella in the rain
Umbrella in the rain
Umbrella in the rain
Umbrella in the rain
