The Secret Life Of Dr. Calgori Lyrics - Singles - Abney Park

Test-tubes 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 distilled antitoxins from postnasal drips. 

(2x) 

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 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 

Test-tubes 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 distilled antitoxins from postnasal drips.. 

(3x) 

Entropy 

Fading his life away 

Before the world could ever see 

Dissipating, evaporating
