lyrics

Well I was born in the year of the horse
On a telescope in Arizona of course
My distance huge, my movement slow
Thought I might stay hid for an eon or so

Clyde Tombaugh, my father, my flame
Thanks to your blink I am a household name
Put me in the papers, number nine is here
Then you stab me in the back and I disappear

(Chorus)
Neil the astrophysicist's claims
Brought about my trans-neptunian pain
Sit in your chair and read the news
And I'll tell you all about my Kuiper Belt blues

My orbit long, my surface cold
Crossin' Jupiter's brother, you might call me bold
I'm round but my neighborhood's crowded as hell
And I couldn't clear it out, old Tyson did tell

Charon, my brother, we are transfixed
To a point in between us called the River Styx
Hydra, Kerberos, my dragon and dog
Spin around me in the icy fog

(Chorus)
