Pluto from Sophomore by Darth Nater

Neptune to Pluto
April to June, oh
I’m what the scientists forgot
Test tube to placemat, I can still taste it
I’m out of place but light-years ahead

Houston to fission
Abort the mission
Drop him and leave him to burn with the stars
Dripping in saline
Rotting with gangrene
I’m the ninth planet, I’m the plan 9

And the astronomers all gaze up at my body
Wondering how a boy so thin could be orbiting

17 to 70
4/4 to 6/3
No one will miss me
But I don't much mind

Dear homosapien
Earth is so alien
I don’t belong there and neither do you

Are you my friend here now in the daytime when the lights are on
Are you my friend here now in the daytime with the lights on
Are you my friend here now in the daytime when the lights are on

Are you my firend here now in the grey times
When the fair-weather falters to monsoons and mistrals
I’m just a minstrel
I’m just a crooner who’s poor at his craft
Like the blacksmith whose hammer just sits behind glass
Or the captain who claims that he won’t need a map

So lock me up and toss out (swallow) the key
But bring back my heart cause I need it to sing (see, breathe)

So lock me up and clip both my wings
Goddammit I know why the caged bird sings


are you my friend here now after the robes all slip off
and we're crawling and naked like babies in stasis
im too afraid to go home
but too scared to stay here
so cut off my hair
shear me like a sheep
cause youre my delila
now put me to sleep
send me to sleep
