Wink The Satellite

Biography:

Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as "a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music". Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.

Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology

F
There’s a world out there,
Dm
there’s a world out there,

there’s a world out there
waiting for you (x2)

Would you believe me if
Dm
I told you a

satellite paid me a
Dm
visit (No)
F
A round metal mound with a
Dm
telescope eye a
F
tear trickled down as he told me his Dm
story

Bm
His tale was a blur,
Gm
I couldn’t make out the words,
Bm
I said, “Slow down, begin Gm
at the beginning, and,
D Gm D Gm
start with your name.”
D Gm D Gm
Start with your name

W.I.N.K.:
F Dm
My name is W.I.N.K. the Satellite,
Bb C
mission aborted coming home from endless nights
F Dm Bb
W.I.N.K. #109, our mission was a failure,
C
we’re running out of time

F Dm
Sent to the Vice Quadrant to find us a new home
Bb C
but unlike other satellites, I fear being alone
F Dm
When I saw her green visage, it was love at first sight
Bb C
but then the Space Giant appeared and took the first bite

(Play Riff #1 through the dialogue or the chords)

Hatchworth: Ooh, that sounds bad.
Rabbit: It doesn’t sound too good!
Spine: Gang, we should do something about this.
Rabbit: Okay!
Hatchworth: Let’s.

F
We can get Peter A Walter the 6th
Dm
to turn you into a rocketship
F Dm
fly on back and speak with this Giant (Yeah)

F Dm
We can ask it to please leave, and hope that it agrees
F Dm
you see, the key to conflict resolution is communication

(Riff #2 is in here)
Bm Gm
W.I.N.K.: Let’s give it a try
Bm Gm
How much could it hurt?
