lyrics

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?
Who’s she gonna follow - is she gonna grovel in her sorrow?

But tomorrow with 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
AND YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY
FOLLOW THE RED UMBRELLA - THE RED UMBRELLA IN THE RAIN

She’s 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
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 OK IF YOU WANT TO BREAK AWAY
FOLLOW THE RED UMBRELLA
WHEN YOU CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER LONELY DAY
AND YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY
FOLLOW THE RED UMBRELLA - THE RED UMBRELLA IN THE RAIN

Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
