-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 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.
