Circling in our secret dance
interlinked we spin and spiral,
a trance in angular momentum
Pluto and Charon bound as the dead
frozen in endless release
circling in our secret dance
where the god of the underworld
leads, blind Charon sweeps in
a trance of angular momentum
prisoners of our own making
contained, chained
circling in our secret dance
the orbital resonance of our waltz
treading the Kuiper belt
a trance of angular momentum
Out there the glitter ball is dim
the audience a scattering of stars
circling in our secret dance
a trance of angular momentum
interlinked we spin and spiral,
a trance in angular momentum
Pluto and Charon bound as the dead
frozen in endless release
circling in our secret dance
where the god of the underworld
leads, blind Charon sweeps in
a trance of angular momentum
prisoners of our own making
contained, chained
circling in our secret dance
the orbital resonance of our waltz
treading the Kuiper belt
a trance of angular momentum
Out there the glitter ball is dim
the audience a scattering of stars
circling in our secret dance
a trance of angular momentum
