"Brass Goggles" Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Christopher Bennett
Composed by Jonathan Sprague


(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 tocking 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 turning hostile
So he built these wonderful automaton bloaks
And a very big steam powered giraffe what 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 feeling?
(One, two, three)

Chorus:
La-Da-Da-Da-Da (x3)
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da

La-Da-Da-Da-Da (x2)
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 feeling
(One, two, three)

(Chorus)

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!)

(Part 1 & 2 together)

Part 1:
I want all today
Don't want to hear you say
I love you, I love you
I love-love-love you

Part 2:
Colonel Walter was shocked when he learned from the Nile
Copper African elephants turning hostile
So he built these wonderful automaton bloaks
And a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes


Wind me up, turn the gears (x4)

(Chorus)

4:08 - Spine: Oh don't mind me! I'll just jump up a million fricken octaves and go back down like nothing happened. XD

[Richard65304]

Medal is a reward, Metal is a material. A medal is metal, and it is a good robot pun. So, gg. :P

[HikariNora006]

Wow, how does Robot do that with his voice?! O_O So cool

[katiakat999]

Jesus christ, I can't wait to see you guys at Anime Midwest in July!

[Brittany Stapleton]

At first I thought, oh cool, part of this is live and part is animated. And then I realised, no that's his legit make-up. So awesome.

[daniellemarie1226]

The Rabbit.... I love you.

[Elias Arana]

Laughing at things that are never supposed to be laughed about when people tell you them <3

[TF8ase]

This is brilliant, how have I missed out on this 'till now

[PsylomeAlpha]

my issue with those two is that they kinda sound too modern imo. they still sound good, but if I want to listen to steampunk music I want music taht feels like it's a combination of styles from throughout time.

[PsylomeAlpha]

... you're right! he also looks a bit like tom cruise as well... maybe they had a kid?

[PsylomeAlpha]

I have a bag of sandwich and am seated comfortably as well.

[PsylomeAlpha]

lol, that IS my laugh... and then my family and friends wonder why it's so hard for me to do more than chuckle a bit under my breath.
