The Leader of the Starry Skies Songtext
von Cardiacs

He shone down the stairs
Careful sun day when he can
Move anything with his eyes
He wants to be the leader of the skies

Aims to see the starry sky with his own eyes
Wants to be the leader of the starry skies
All the people make signs
Sparse, as nothing if at all
Commiseration in a generous new size
Appealing to us all
Wins some, craves fun, keeps the world as his disguise
Stays young, brave sun, he aimed his cannon to the skies

Oh, must′ve been zero phiz
Caused our lantern to depart, and now
Best not be moved because it's sad to trust a broken heart


Crave fun, brave sun, he aimed his cannon to the skies
Slave hung, brave sun, he moved the turret with his eyes
And he can′t shut up light
Without thinking, but what can I do?

Zealous antics puzzled lazy boy
Gazing at him in the zoo
Makes a vow to quench all fury
And rid the air of me and rid of you

Brave sun, brave sun, he points the barrel to the sky
Climbs in, brave sun, and then out of the cannon he flies
And he met another guy
The leader of the starry skies, he's here
But burning at such speed that no good dog can obey

Crave fun, brave sun, he keeps the world as his disguise
Slave hung, brave sun, the leader of the starry skies
From the tops of the trees
To the bowels of the Earth
Swings from pillar to post
'Cos he′s here
And now
And now
He′s here
