The heavens won’t open for us We gotta make our own wings Rummage round through the junk Looking for paper and string
Leonardo is building Rising up to the droan And all the time we are dreaming Of our rotten throan The chair is smothered in velvet Somewhat crusty and gold But its seen better days Its looking weathered and old All the wood has been eaten Through years of neglect But we haven’t been beaten Not just yet
The heavens won’t open for us We’ve got to make our own wings Out of Paper and String The heavens won’t open for us We’ve got to make our own wings Out of Paper and String The heavens won’t open for us So we try out our wings We are resting our souls On some paper and string
Now we shake off the dust And we breathe in the sky The wings are now beating Our blood is not shy We can see the crimson gate It feels cold to touch As we reach for the blaze We die in the rush
The heavens won’t open for us We’ve got to make our own wings Out of Paper and String The heavens won’t open for us We’ve got to make our own wings Out of Paper and String
