The secret life of Dr. Calgori lyrics

Test-tubes and Tesla coils,

Clockwork brain and 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 distilled antitoxins from postnasal drips.

Entropy

Fading his life away

Before the world could ever see

Dissipating, evaporating

Hired in secret behind locked doors,

A man in uniform fighting cold wars.

Invented steam sailors 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.

Entropy

Fading his life away

Before the world could ever see

Dissipating, evaporating

(2x)

Test-tubes and Tesla coils,

Clockwork brain and 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 distilled antitoxins from postnasal drips.

Entropy

Fading his life away

Before the world could ever see

Dissipating, evaporating

(3x)
