The Pluto Blues

I heard what happened, what they did to you
 I read it in the paper, could not believe it was true
 Scientists all met up as I understand it
 Changed their minds one more time and now Pluto's not a planet
 Pluto was once every astronomer's dream
 A few decades later, nothing's sacred it seems
 Now it lost its place in the planetarium set
 In orbit for centuries - the thanks that you get
 But today's star is tomorrow's black hole
 Fame in the solar system is a dangerous goal
 One day you're a planet, next day you're a rock in space
 Left in the cold, fallen from grace
 ♪
 He was the star of TV's Diff'rent Strokes
 Once people the world over were laughing at his jokes
 He made millions of dollars with one trademark phrase
 But it all went downhill after the glory days
 Well, the TV show was cancelled, they said he wasn't funny
 Then he found out his parents spent all of his money
 And now he's doing his best as a security guard
 He never thought the acting gig would ever be this hard
 But today's star is tomorrow's black hole
 Fame out in Hollywood that's a dangerous goal
 One day you're a star, next day you're a rock in space
 Left in the cold, fallen from grace
 And I know it isn't fair, celebrity's no gentle game
 You haven't got it made when everybody knows your name
 You might think your place in the stars is for sure
 But a trip from the top to a rent-a-cop can make you feel insecure
 So take a lesson from former planets and former stars
 You might dream someday everybody knows who you are
 But astronomers are a fickle bunch, and the public just gets bored
 You might wake up to find you're not a planet anymore
 And today's star is tomorrow's black hole
 Fame in this system, man, it's a dangerous goal
 One day you're a star, next day you're a rock in space
 Left in the cold, fallen from grace
 Left in the cold, fallen from grace
