[Intro]

Can you make the arrow bigger?

Bigger.

Bigger.

No—

bigger than the building.

Perfect.

[Verse]

The graphics room on Level Three
Had seven screens and one command:
"Make every danger easy to see.
Assume the viewer needs a hand."

A picture showed a cloudy sky.
We circled one suspicious grey.
Another arrow pointed why
The cloud might drift this general way.

[Pre-Chorus]

Point to the window.
Point to the gate.
Point to the thing
we cannot substantiate.

[Chorus]

Huge red arrows pointing everywhere,
One at the pavement, one at the air.
Circle the nothing, label it "RARE."
Huge red arrows pointing everywhere.

Point at the door, point at the chair—
Facts look impressive when graphics declare.

[Verse]

We found a sign on Harbour Street,
An ordinary one, complete.
We added one red arrow first—
The ratings could not be reversed.

A council office closed at five.
The doors were locked as doors should be.
We drew three arrows from the side:
"WHY WON'T OFFICIALS LET US SEE?"

[Chorus]

Huge red arrows pointing everywhere,
One at the pavement, one at the air.
Circle the nothing, label it "RARE."
Huge red arrows pointing everywhere.

Point to the left, point to the right—
Point at a lamp that's already bright.

[Drum Break]

Up. Down. Left. Right. Arrow wider, make it bright.
Move the label, raise the size.
Put an arrow on the arrow
To explain the first arrow's significance.

[Bridge]

Maya placed a blank white page. The designer drew a giant arrow in.
"What's it pointing at?" she asked. He shrugged: "The developing situation."
"What situation?" He looked surprised:
"The arrow indicates investigation."

[Build-up]

Twelve on weather. Eight on trains.
Three on puddles. Five on drains.
One points straight to Gordon's chair.
He orders: "Leave that one off air."

[Final Chorus]

Huge red arrows pointing everywhere,
One points at facts that were never quite there.
Zoom out slowly — what do we see?
A giant red forest covering TV.
If every direction is urgent and rare,

No arrow points anywhere.

[Outro]

The graphics room saves the template:

FINAL_RED_ARROW_V27_REAL_FINAL.

Then makes V28.
