The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Testtubes and Tesla coils,
clockwork brain and glowing oils,
copper, brass, explosive jelly
He may compete, but he's too dally.
invented the radio transmitting, too.
played poker with faraday, tesla and poe.
harvest the daylight to power airships,
and they are still intoxined from posting his drips.
(2x)
Entropy's fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating
They have him sealed behind locked doors,
amending here from fighting cold wars.
Invented steam sails and taught them to fight
and they stopped things to go bump in the night,
all his acomplishments hidden for life,
his genius's top secret even from his wife,
an aged wrinkled genius his memory fading,
his fate, his creations, the government evading
(2x)
Entropy's fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating
Testtubes and Tesla coils,
clockwork brain and glowing oils,
copper, brass, explosive jelly
He may compete, but he's too dally.
invented the radio transmitting, too.
played poker with faraday, tesla and poe.
harvest the daylight to power airships,
and they are still intoxined from posting his drips.
(3x)
Entropy's fading his life away
before the world could ever see
dissipating, evaporating
