2012 brought the highly anticipated release of “The 2¢ Show,” Steam Powered Giraffe's second studio album. The 2¢ Show gives listeners a one-way ticket with the robots on-the-road through an antique America that is filled with both magic and mystery. Join Rabbit, The Spine, and The Jon as they travel to romanticized echoes of various eras. Eras such as the wild and weird west, where Jackalopes yodeled alongside singing cowboys and Giant Rattlesnakes were king. Aboard an enchanted steamboat, they head deep into a mystical south, finding Bog Spirits who boogie to twisted Zydeco tunes. From a decaying past, dieselpunk fables and crooning records melt with electric folk pop and psychedelic radiation to create the unique, yet timeless sound Steam Powered Giraffe makes.

SAINT MOTEL - Puzzle Pieces

ForPlay

Butch-saint motel

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

Awfully Apeelin'

Dirty Imbecile

A song about heartbreak.

Lyrics:
Starin’ at the ground, gonna get much better,
But you’re thinkin to yourself ‘bout it every day.
Starin’ in the clouds, there’s a big bright future
But you’re never gonna get it if you’re never get to say:

I got that love, little love that you leave me, while you fade away.
Inside my heart is a drum and it’s beating for you every single day

Bendin’ over backwards, nobody want no bruises
But she knows just how to see right through it.
Youll change but it’s not enough, you changed but you’ll never know, what
She wants, what you want, what she needs, what you need, (you’ll never know )
She wants, what you want, what she needs, what you need, (you’ll never know)
She wants, what you need, and you need

Rollin’, rollin’ through all of the noises
You make inside of your mind.
Forget all the visible lust, metaphysical trust; what you trying find?
Always the hardest, and always the rightest; they all gotta stand for the same damn thing!

You wanted that fever, oh now boy you got it.
So taste it, don’t waste it, all you thought wanted. 

For your love I’m beggin' you please.
I got chained at your door and need a release.

The Happy Fits

While You Fade Away

A song about growing up.

Lyrics:
Move your hips along with the music.
Lick your lips but don’t over-do it.
Bend your knees along with the summer.
Keep your beat but don’t kill the drummer.

It’s true. I wanna be with you tonight, but I’m a little too late.

Just be calm and move with the season.
Winter’s gone and so has your reason.
Daisies bloom and so will desire.
Keep your cool and blow out the fire.

True, I wanna be with you tonight, but I’m a little too late.
I’m a little too late. 

I could be whole if I didn’t know
About the birdies and the bees and the bushes.
Eighteen came around and it was somewhat malicious.
Everybody loses control.
I’m a little scared of my soul.
Find her, keep her, don’t you go near or cheat her. 
Just you believe that you born enough. 

I could be whole if I didn’t know
About the dangers of
Foreign stock exchanges from
Candy-riden strangers-
I just wanna be with you.
I wanna be with you tonight, but I’m a little too late.


I could be whole if I didn’t know 
About the cooties and the creeps they commision.
Even when it dirty I would find it delicious.
Everybody loses control.
I’m a little scared of my soul.
Find her, keep her, don’t you go near or cheat her. 
Just you believe that you born enough. 

I could be whole if I didn’t know. I could be whole if I didn’t go 
Out passin’ free notes with
All the secrets we know from
Half-bred Filipinos-
I just wanna be with you.
I wanna be with you tonight, but I’m a little too late.

Stupid
