"Bureaucracy in D Major"
Style: D major, 118 BPM, Tropicália with chamber pop orchestration, Tropicália leads. Euphoric and sun-drunk, with an undercurrent of feverish absurdity. Male tenor vocal — warm, slightly nasal, close-mic in
Lyrics: The refrigerator started singing in D major

The census man came by at noon to count my teeth
I gave him thirteen and a half — he had no receipt
The dog is filing taxes for the neighborhood birds
The postman swallowed all the mail and mailed himself instead

Everything is bureaucracy now
##Everything, everything##
Form 9 to breathe, form 10 to bow
Sign here to love, initial the vow
Everything is bureaucracy now

I stood in line to claim the sun — it came back denied
The moon had better paperwork, the moon was certified
My shadow quit and unionized at half past three
Demanding shorter afternoons and dental coverage for free

But somewhere in the waiting room a trumpet played
And all the forms turned into birds and flew away

Lyrics: They gave the blues a string quartet tonight

I been living in the key of D-flat minor
Since my good sense packed its things and left
Found a half-truth on the kitchen counter
And a love note written for somebody else

##Oh, they play on##
Some kind of beautiful wrapped around the wrong
##Around the wrong##
I never asked for elegance in my suffering
But here it comes regardless, here it comes

My grandmother said sorrow wants an audience
So dress it well and let the neighbors see
I put my heartbreak in a wool-lined casket
And the viola wept for what was left of me

Maybe grief deserves a little grandeur
Maybe pain should get its curtain call

So the strings play on, the strings play on
##Oh, they play on##
