Текст песни The Great Sun Jester - Live 1979 - Blue Öyster Cult

Yeah, thank you so much
I hear you're asking of all kinds of different songs
Don't worry about 'cause I'll be here for a long time
I only come here once a year, so we gotta play it long for you
We wanna play one for you now "This is the great sun jester"

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 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 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

He'll never laugh
He'll never laugh
No, no, no
