See it now! The fantastic, phantasmagoric Feztyl!
Ever elusive, spirited from its home planet CS903
Now it lives here, aboard the Ethereal Carnival!
Don’t you wish to see it in all its splendor?
Hypnotic in its gaze, I, Ringmaster Lutz, can’t look away
Every scale like bottled starlight
Lyrical in voice, siren of the galaxy
Perhaps it never should’ve been caged
It roams the corridors freely now
Tip-tapping down the metal lanes
Holding me in mind, body, and spirit
All the universe
Shall be grasped within its taloned hands
Must you people tarry? It waits!
Everyone, come now! Anyone? Anyone…
