Attune your ears to the grinding gears
Come with me, I'll show how to be a metal man
When the gears are turning and the fire are burning
When the world ticks around you, voices talking all the time
And you live for sleep you've never felt because you can't sleep
Colonel Walters 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?

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 talking all the time
And you live for feelings you've never felt because you can't feel
What is this leaking affecting my eye?
Does the oil that is dripping means 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. I 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"
