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 blind 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'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 dancer's 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

He'll never laugh again

Again

He'll, he'll never laugh again
