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 weapin'
 And the jackals left him torn
 And the jester reaches out blight hands
 He can touch the stars no more
 ♪
 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 is 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 control
 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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 He'll never sing his songs again
 He'll never dance between the stars again
 He'll never laugh again
 No, he'll never ever laugh again, oh no
 ♪
 He'll never laugh again
 He'll never laugh again
 He'll never laugh again, no, no, no
