Biography:
Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as "a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music". Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.
Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology

[Intro]
No chords F F C
I can't see, I can't see, across the crowds
C
A sea of clouds and unseen dreams
C F F C
They're screaming loud
C
But how they dance on second glance
C F F No chords
they're smiling proud
C
But they are all left unseen
[Interlude]
C
La ta-dah-dah-dee
F
La ta-dah-dah-dee-hee
[Verse 1]
C F
Take a bow, take a bow, it's over now
C F
Run and how run and how. Now we must flee
C F
The electric queen; she sparked and glowed on her many screens
F Em Am F
At night she breathes. At night she lives
F Em F
But only when she dreams
[Chorus]
C Em Am G
She's just a dreeeeeeeeeeeam machine
C Em Am G
If only dreeeeeeeeeeeam machine
[Verse 2]
C F
The silence breeds, the silence breeds, don't tear the air
C F
No silly songs or darkening thoughts, no don't you dare
C
But here they come and here they'll stay,
F
multiplying till our dying day
No chords C
Who needs sleep anyway?
[Chorus]
C Em Am G
Build them a dreeeeeeeeeeeam machine
C Em Am G
If only dreeeeeeeeeeeam machine

[Verse 3]
C F
Walk away, walk away into the night

A sea of fright and unseen fiends who want a bite

Don't let them in, where have they been? It isn't right
F Em Am F
Just take your breaths. For now, it's light.
F Em F G No chords
The sun is up. The curtain's 'bout to rise
