Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Red Tape > Lyrics


    If you walk away you'll bury me
    I would climb into a hole
    Should I build a private cemetery

    There should be no elaborate ceremony
    Should I rise above it all
    Did you know what to expect of me
    I have carved my own headstone

    You could spare me temporarily
    I won't be around that long
    Though opinions tend to vary
    (you might be wrong)

    Open ended, more than ready
    Holding on to my regrets
    Though I tend to have that tendency
    But the hole is not filled yet

    Information kills, the red tape high wire, systemated thrills
    Our plate is overfilled, screwed loose until it leaks, life begins to spill
    Passing through the fields of distant memories
    It's all just a dream

    Your conviction's slow but steady
    Is my eviction notice ready?
    My conviction's slow but steady
    Is your eviction notice ready?
