The Great Sun Jester

Lyrics

They have killed the great sun jester
 Who danced between the stars
 They have stripped him of his manhood
 Signs of Venus and of Mars
 The cynics left him weeping
 And the jackals left him torn
 And the jester reaches out bind hands
 He can touch the stars no more.
 CHORUS:
 And he took the stars in his hands
 And as he scattered them he'd shout
 "I'm the joker of the universe
 I'm what it's all about."
 Now he's dying in his grief
 And the hard men dragged him down
 They have killed the wild-eyed jester
 They have killed the fireclown
 Now his blind eyes seek the starlight
 And his fingers seek controls
 To take him into space again
 Where he was both young and old
 The dancers stiff with pain
 And they've made him kneel too long
 And the madness they have driven out
 They've left him cold and sane.
 CHORUS
 He'll never - sing his songs - again...
 He'll never dance between the stars - again...
 He'll never laught - again...
 No he'll never ever laugh again...
 Oh, no...
