Oh! Mighty Engine (song)

Cindy writes a paragraph Says time is passing But the bubbles in her heart Are everlasting Yes, she gave her life to art And who could blame her? It's pretty major Fraught with danger and stuff like that Oh! Mighty Engine Of good intention You're purring softly beside me Grinding gently beside me Tapping totally madly For you Says the plot is getting strange Taking on new meaning And the heroes run away, 'Cause no one stopped them But she can't control the page There's people dying Semicolons crying And full stops finding fault Oh, what a dolt Oh Oh! Mighty Engine Of good intention, You're purring softly beside me Tapping totally madly Grinding gently beside me For you

Cindy writes of kerosene And broken bottles Says these troubles were a part of someone's childhood But she can't get past the point Where someone's dying

It's pretty minor A pithy liner would sort it out But he won't die He just mucks about Oh, it's so hard Now we've broken out the gin, It helps her thinking And given in to sin We're breathing deeply But something's on her mind, a chapter's stirring... Her mind is whirling... And off she trots To tap her keys to the top Oh, she's off Oh! Mighty Engine Of good intention You're purring softly beside me Grinding gently beside me Tapping totally madly For you
