The State Machine - The Steam Powered Jazz Club Lyrics

Now baby take a look around
We've got for you one of the best new hits in town
Please be aware of the changing scene
Well ladies and gentlemen we are all the only band you'll need
I'd tell you to take a seat and wait
But I can tell that this is not the kind of occasion to take
An opportunity and waste it on a dime a dozen
Another rock band without a single thing to show in
Now sweetheart don't you cry
We've got all you need inside
Well baby don't you waste another minute to hesitate
We've got for you a slaughtermatic sound
A new band that'll keep you all around
So if you would Kindly indulge a minute of your time
I guarantee you it'll be worth every penny and dime
Come see the state machine
Come see the state machine
Come see the state machine
Oh
Ba da ba dao
Ba da ba da ba da baow
La da da dao
Ba da ba da ba da baow
La da da dao
La da da da da da baow
La da da da
La da da da da la da ba da baow
Now friends if you would kindly lend me a moment
I bet I can get you all on your feet
Now ladies and gentlemen
Take a look at angle one
The state machine's automatic sound has just begun
The winding of the nightfall
A rotational set every nightfall
If you would kindly indulge us for a moment
I guarantee you this automatic silence won't be broken
The crash queens are all singing along
I hope you'd take a listen to the message of the song
But baby that's okay
Everybody usually ignores the meaning anyway
I listen to much to my own head
It keeps me from sleeping away in my bed
I take a look at the records on the shelf
Most my time I can't imagine singing to them with anyone else
Come see the state machine
Come see the state machine
Come see The State Machine
The greatest band that you'll never see
Oh
Ba da ba da da da
Ba ba ba da da
Ba da ba da da da
Da da di da di da da
Ba da ba la da da
Da da di da da da da
Ba da ba la da da
Ba ba ba da da
I guarantee you
This glass is see through
Come take a look at the slaughtermatic gears
The tempo of the instruments
How they disappear
I guess if you took the time to listen to your own head
You may find a solution to not wind up dead
The state machine is watching for you 24/7
If you aren't too carful you could end up locked right out of heaven
I just wanted to be
Another one of them ghosts
The Ghost of You
I thought of it as an artistic tune
But it happens to end tragically without you
I just wanted to hear that sound
The opera house is too damn loud
I never understood the cheers
Come gather around to hear all your greatest fears
The winding of them gears
The steam powered symphony
Give 'em your ears
If you take a listen to the sound of the boiler room
You can tell that the door is wide open to you
And ladies and gentlemen
If you would take a peak inside
You can finally see the show was all a lie
But that's okay
We'll sing out this final chorus anyway
Come see the state machine
Come see the state machine
Come see the state machine
La da di dao
Skidili bap ba do pow
La da di dao
Ba di dili bap ba do bow
Ba da ba da ba da da da dao
La da la da la da ba da da la da bow
Now if you can't see the illusion yet
Well friend I'll bet if you come next week you'll reconsider it
Now my friend it is time for us to go
We've gotta move on to Toronto for the next show
But my baby
Oh my pretty lady
If you'd sit back and relax you'd have less of a taxing time
If you want I can spin you rhyme for a dime
But I guess we'll have to save that for next time
