Song lyrics

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, 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, evaporating

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