Abney Park - The Secret Life Of Dr Calgori Lyrics

Testtubes and Tesla coils,
clockwork brain 'n' glowing oils,
copper, brass, explosive jelly,
his mechapede policed Old Delhi.
Invented the radio transmitting, too.
Played poker with Theremin, Tesla and Poe.
Harnessed cold moonlight to power airships
and destilled antitoxines from postnasal drips.

(2x)
Entropy
fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating

Hired and sacked behind locked doors,
a man in uniform fighting cold wars.
Invented steam saviors and taught them to fight
and they stopped things going bump in the night.
All his accomplishments hidden for life.
His genius's top secret even from his wife.
An aged wrinkled genius, his memory fading.
His fates, his creations, the government evading.

(2x)
Entropy
fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating.

Testtubes and Tesla coils,
clockwork brain 'n' glowing oils,
copper, brass, explosive jelly,
his mechapede policed Old Delhi.
Invented the radio transmitting, too.
Played poker with Theremin, Tesla and Poe.
Harnessed cold moonlight to power airships
and destilled antitoxines from postnasal drips.

(3x)
Entropy
fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating.
