    "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)

Just imagine you come across these "robots" while you're walking down the street and they're all shutdown and lifeless but you see a jukebox or something beside them. You put money in, select a song, then they come alive and play the song before shutting down again until the next person comes by and turns it on again. Would take a lot of hard work to stay in one pose for indefinite periods of time though and they would need a "caretaker" to make sure people didn't mess with the robots while they were inactive.
