Other links: Website: Facebook: Raul Urreola: “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)
