Test tubes and Tesla coils
Clockwork brain and glowing oils
Copper, brass, explosive jelly

His mechapede policed Old Delhi
Invented the radio transmitting toe
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 and evaporating

Hired and sacked behind locked doors

A man in uniform fighting cold wars
Invented steam soldiers and taught them to fight
And they stopped things going bump in the night

All his accomplishments hidden for life
His genius 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 and evaporating


Entropy
Fading his life away

Before the world could ever see
Dissipating and evaporating


Test tubes and Tesla coils
Clockwork brain and glowing oils
Copper, brass, explosive jelly

His mechapede policed Old Delhi
Invented the radio transmitting toe
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 and evaporating

Entropy

Fading his life away
Before the world could ever see
Dissipating and evaporating


Entropy
Fading his life away

Before the world could ever see
Dissipating and evaporating
