Lyrics for Song: The Great Sun Jester 
Lyrics for Album: Mirrors [1979]
  
               
  30213>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 have 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 drag him down
  They have killed the wild-eyed jester
  They have killed the fire clown
 
 
  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 drag him down
  They have killed the wild-eyed jester
  They have killed the fire clown
 
 
  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
  Oh no!
  He'll never, never laugh again
