about

Science goes too far when a giant mechanical penis gets loose and destroys the city.

lyrics

Throw all the switches, and check all the gauges
Soon we shall prove that the fools were all wrong
What we've built here, will live throughout the ages
A triumph of science and wills that are strong

Thrusting at heaven, a giant machine rises
the eye of our hubris glaring straight at God
steam from the boilers, straining under pressure
soon we will pierce through the mystery's facade

It's growing
it's taking on a life of its own
it's blowing
the seeds of chaos innocently sown
It's going
And I don't know if we'll get it back
Unknowing
Juggernaut on the attack

You know we didn't mean this
when we built this Clockwork Penis
We didn't realize that when the lightning struck
You know we didn't mean this
when we built this Clockwork Penis
and now it looks like the whole world is fucked

the airships drop fire, but their efforts are futile
we can't put the lid back on pandora's box
women and children fleeing for their lives
are lost in the mobs swarming all over the docks

looming above us, a steam powered phallus
lurches through buildings in blind metal rage
pass me the goggles, we have to get working
somehow we'll put this beast back in its cage

It's growing
it's taking on a life of its own
it's blowing
the seeds of chaos innocently sown
It's going
And I don't know if we'll get it back
Unknowing
Juggernaut on the attack

You know we didn't mean this
when we built this Clockwork Penis
We didn't realize how the gears would grind
You know we didn't mean this
when we built this Clockwork Penis
we didn't understand the power of the mind
