Steam Powered Giraffe - Brass Goggles Lyrics

Lyrics Brass Goggles - Steam Powered Giraffe



Attune your ears to the grinding gears
Come with me I'll show you how to be a metal man
When the gears are turning and the fires are burning
When the world ticks around you
Voices talking all the time
And you live for sleep you've never slept
Because you cannot sleep
Colonel Walter was shocked
When he learned from the Nile
Copper African elephants were turning hostile
So he built these wonderful automaton bloaks
And a very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
Now the war is passed and over
We're left to sit and wonder
What is life and what is real?
And why do living things need feelings?
(Are you ready?)
(Here we go)
(One, two, three)
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
How'd you like to try pumping
Lead through your veins?
Or have a heart so wet and cold it starts rusting
When the world ticks around you
Voices tocking all the time
You live for feelings you've never felt
Because you cannot feel
And what is this leaking affecting my eye?
Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry?
Will I ever be something with feelings to hide?
Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside?
I want all today
Don't want to hear you say
You can't do this, you can't do that
You're not a living thing with feelings
(Here we go)
(One, two, three)
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da
Wind me up, turn the gears
(Brass goggles!)
Wind me up, turn the gears
(Brass goggles!)
Wind me up, turn the gears
(Brass goggles, goggles, goggles!)
Wind me up, turn the gears
(Brass googles!)
Colonel Walter was shocked when he learned from the Nile
(Brass goggles, Brass goggles)
((I want all today))
Copper African Elephants were turning hostile
(Brass goggles, Brass goggles)
((I don't want to hear you say))
So he build these wonderful automaton bloaks
(Brass goggles, Brass goggles)
((I love you, I love you))
And a very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
(Brass goggles goggles goggles
Ga ga ga ga ga ga goggles)
((I love love love you))
A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
(Brass goggles, Brass goggles)
((Wind me up, turn the gears))
A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
(Brass goggles, bra ha ha hass goggles)
((Wind me up, turn the gears))
A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
(Brass goggles, Brass goggles)
((Wind me up, turn the gears))
A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
(Bra ha ha ha ha ha!)
((Wind me up, turn the gears))
