Gears and Levers Lyrics

Sneak out through our window at night

Telescope and our kite

Stars awake and constellate

Into a perfect shape of our brother

Carried up to the moon

Tied to a million balloons

On the clearest days

You can see Him wave

He left a note "You can have My room but beware

There's monsters under my bed

And they will tear you to shreds

So hide the pages that no one's read

The secret blueprints to my Weather Machine

They fell off the Edge of the Earth

Captain called off the search

And they were doomed to fall forever

Or die of thirst or whatever came first

Victoria, how she spoke with the dead

Floating dismembered

heads telling tales of their doom

I think the voices came from another Room

Booming, banging, gears and levers

Metal bending, hold together

Wheels spinning, feed that fire

Take me to the Treehouse Empire

They have great big machines that can take photos of your dreams

We can run or we can stay, build a wall and keep them all away

We cannot interfere when the Moon enters our atmosphere

Booming, banging, gears and levers

Metal bending, hold together

Wheels spinning, feed that fire

Take me to the Treehouse Empire
