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

[VERSE 1]
Am G F E7
Come with me I'll Show you how to be a metal man
Am G F E7
When the gears are turning and The fires Burn-in
Am G F E7
When the world tick around you voices talking all the time
Am G F E7
When you live for sleep and you've never slept because you cannot sleep
Am G F E7
Colonel Walter was shocked when he heard from the Nile
Am G F E7
Copper African Elephants turning hostile
Am G F E7
So he built these wonderful automaton blokes
Am G F E7
and a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes
PRECHOURUS 1
Dm C
Now the war is past and over we're left to sit and wonder
Dm Dm Dm
what is life and what is real and why do living things need feel

[VERSE 2]
Am G F E7
How'd you like to try pumping lead through your veins
Am G F E7
Or have a heart so wet and cold it start rust-ing
Am G F E7
When the world tick around you voices talking all the time
Am G F E7
When you live for feelings you've never felt because you cannot feel
Am G F E7
And what is this leaking affecting my eyes
Am G F E7
Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry
Am G F E7
Will I ever be something with feelings to hide
Am G F E7
Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside
[PRECHOURUS 2]
Dm C
I want it all today Don't want to hear you say
Dm Dm Dm
you can't do this you can't do that you're not a living thing with feel
