+Drifting in darkness, year after year.
+They taught me in schools, I had my own place,
+Till science came ‘round and wiped off my face.

+[Verse 1]
+[Pluto's voice]
+I was number nine, a proud little sphere,
+Drifting in darkness, year after year.
+They taught me in schools, I had my own place,
+Till science came ‘round and wiped off my face.
+
+[Verse 2]
+[Astronomer's voice]
+You’re cute, no doubt, with your frosty glow,
+But rules are rules, and now you know:
+Too much debris in your orbital lane,
+A planet clears house; that’s the game.
+
+[synth break]
+[Chorus; Pluto's voice]
+I’m not just dust, I’m a cosmic sprite,
+Spinning in the Kuiper with pride and spite.
+Say what you will; I’m small but brash.
+You can’t erase me, I’m planetary panache.
+
+[pause]
+[Verse 3;]
+[Astronomer's voice]
+I peer through the scopes with precision and care,
+Your orbit's askew? That’s just not fair.
+Your path’s too wild, your size too slight—
+A planet clears house but you gave up the fight.
+
+[Verse 4]
+[Pluto's voice]
+Hey now, Earthlings, I’ve got moons galore—
+Charon and crew, who could ask for more?
+I’ve got ice volcanoes, I’ve got a heart,
+What other “dwarf” pulls that kind of art?
+
+[Bridge]
+[Pluto's voice]
+They changed the rules when I wasn’t looking,
+Demoted me while the cosmos kept cooking.
+But kids still draw me with a smiley face!
+A lonely rock with a lot of grace.
+
+[drop]
+
+[Chorus; together]
+I’m not just dust, I’m a cosmic sprite,
+Spinning in the Kuiper in endless night.
+Say what you will; I’m small but brash.
+Now you know me, I’ve got panache.
+
+[Spoken Interlude: soft synth pad and cosmic wind]
+[Pluto's voice ]
+(You found me in 1930.)
+(Named me the ninth.)
+(I circled quietly, distant, dutiful.)
+(But before I could even complete a single orbit…)
+(they took it all away.)
+[drop]
+(Seventy-six Earth years; Just a third of a Pluto year.)
+(Not even one birthday.)
+(The Cake Is A Lie)
+
+[Verse 5; Mournful, slow, minor key]
+[Pluto's voice]
+Out past the giants where starlight fades,
+I drift through the dark in elliptical shades.
+The sun is a speck, my days are slow...
+No one comes calling in this frozen show.
+
+My heart may be ice, but it beats just the same,
+Etched on my surface like love and shame.
+Demoted, alone, with no golden ring...
+Just echoes of children who used to sing.
+
+[Final Chorus; softer, half-time feel]
+[Pluto's voice]
+I’m not just dust, I’m a cosmic sprite,
+King of the Kuiper at the edge of night.
+Say what you will; I’m small but brash!
+Please don't forget me, (We can't forget you)
+I’m planetary panache.
+
+[Outro: tubular bells + slow fade]
