Brass Goggles

Attune your ears to the grinding gears

Oh, 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 blokes
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?)
(I can't hear you)
(One, two, three)

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-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 your break ticks aren't stopping, voices talking all the time
When 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
(One, two, three)

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-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, and turn the gears (brass-)
Wind me up, turn the gears (goggles, goggles, goggles)

Colonel Walter was shocked when he learned from the Nile
Copper African Elephants were turning hostile
So he built these wonderful automaton blokes
And a very big steam powered giraffe with smokes

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-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

A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
And a very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
And a very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
A very big steam powered giraffe with smokes
