The Great Sun Jester Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

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 

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 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 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 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, no 

He'll never laugh again 

He'll never laugh again 

He'll never laugh again 

He'll never laugh again 

Oh, no
