[Dialogue] "So what have you found?" "I'm looking at the aerial photograph. I'm pretty sure what I'm looking at is an airship" "That looks like a brown lump" "Do you see the prow of the ship?" "Yes I see it now." "When we first started making hot air balloons. People often thought about attaching one to a ship. But the weight is too much. Even the largest blimp has a very small gondola" "And how is that useful?" "I have an idea that steam power would not be controlled by the dampening field. It would have to be first century. One's built without wires. All the gauges and controls are manual. If we had one of those ships. We could take it to the shore. And we could haul a barge." "Brilliant. This is why I keep you around." "So that means you won't kiss me?" "Maybe when no one's around" [verse1] He laughed as he understood I rolled the idea to the investor Ted was not amused at what it would cost Eventually he decided it was best [verse2] Finding an old steam vessel Was nearly an impossible task Then cargo hauling it by a large copter But it came to us at last [Bridge] Once Logan was proven right Investor Ted was all cheer After we checked out the ship He decided he would run things from here [Chorus] The new spirit of the tactical Where We were removing the tech With new power of operation We surpassed the specs We can now pull a barge Although it would be slow We could haul something large There was something we wanted to know [verse3] My recommendation was severe I wanted to make it known That hauling a doll out of the dampening field That it's operation could be shown [verse4] They managed to pull the doll On to the barge's deck Taking it out of the dampening field Most assuredly had an effect [Bridge] It was time to call it a robot As it began to get up The crew was running away from it And I learned what was suspect [Chorus] The metal exterior became soft It wore it like skin It had complete freedom of movement Then it's attack began It wiped crew off the deck But it's balance could not be found Rocking it back and forth Until it fell back down [verse5] It failed to get up again The crew is now a miss They wanted to disconnect the barge And let It Go adrift [verse6] Investor Ted warned them off it That it was his call They were taking it back to the main ship And We continued the haul [Bridge] It finally stayed seated And it began to look around Making judgments about its situation With a new solution to be found [Chorus] It became serene Which I didn't understand It's motivation was mysterious It was probably looking for land It may have been programmed for travel To stay still on the ship Once it understood what's going on It became accustomed to it [Outro] It is likely run by AI I began to explain to Ted It is not remote controlled And that fills me with dread If we calculate them all We have to understand what it means That they were headed towards the ships They could facilitate World War 3 As long it's on the ship We may be okay But if you put it back on land It will ruin your day The tech is too far forward For even me to understand Malleable metal skin On a machine beyond our command
