Red Tape Songtext
von Umphrey’s McGee

if you walk away you′ll bury me
i would climb into a hole
should i build a private cemetary

there should be no elaborate ceremony
should i rise above it all
did you know what to expect of me
i'll carve my own headstone

you could spare me temporarily
i won′t be around at all
though opinions tend to vary (you might be wrong)


open-ended more than ready
holding on to my regrets
though i tend to have (not sure what he says here)
but the hole is not filled yet

information kills the red tape high and wide
systemated thrills
my plate is over-filled
screwed loose until it leaks
life begins to spill
passing through the fields
of distant memories
it's all just a dream

my conviction's slow but steady
is your eviction notice ready
