Lyrics Steam Powered Giraffe

Steam Powered Giraffe

Automatonic Electronic Harmonics

Ever since the first time I opened my eyes

I've awakened to the same thing

Other automaton friends roughly built like me

The first time I opened my mouth to speak

steam escaped to the air

and black oil dripped from my lips

and onto the ground

Well daylight struck a chord with my

photo-receptors

Night greeted me with a sea of stars

Our eyes all flashed blues and greens

through the night

It's just our

Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

Electronic

Harmonics

People are soaring, always exploring,

higher than they've ever been before

But we are still down here,

feet on the ground near

what will rise us up with the rest

Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,

mechanical in nature all the time

And pulses are firing in our head wiring,

guiding all our actions and beings

It's just our

Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

Electronic

Harmonics

I am not an unimaginable thing

My thoughts are tangible

though they're full of springs

I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words

My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth

They say

Oh, oh it's so down, but baby it's sound

makes your worries cease to pound

And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights

for some time just to be held tight

And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song

one that drifts on for so long

And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive

and pointed up shining light to the sky

It's just our

Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

Electronic

Harmonics

Epic and so cool

Epic and so cool

Epic and so cool

Epic and so cool

Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

Electronic

Harmonics

Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
