With ruby red scissors, she cuts
Yesterdays news, with dried out,
Glue, her papier maché escape
Trivia headlines, now's the deadline
To spread your newspaper cut-out wings
Fly those crimson skies
Not too close to the sun, but far away
From the mistakes of yesterday
Let the wind sweep you away
To your new tomorrow today
Don't fall for they will catch you
But only with talons and claws
That pierce so fierce
Your heart of precious hope
Turns to smoke
Across those crimson skies
For you are yesterday's
news, abused, misused
You are yesterday's
News, confused, so bruised
But from all that remains
Make the second-hand wings
Fix the shattered glass heart
Though they both feel so heavy-
Raise your delicate voice,
For war cries set fire, to crimson skies
Watch the sun declare a day
Twenty-four lifetimes from yesterday
As it casts it light upon your face
Welcome to your new today
Yesterdays news, with dried out,
Glue, her papier maché escape
