    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.

lyrics

Well lets get packin'. Get back on track in
the lovely morning sun
We've got a song in our heart and a dream in our heads
Hearts in our heads, and dreams of a song
We'll Sing it all day long. C'mon now board that train with me

I've got a one-way ticket to destiny
A one-way road to my future.
And a two-way love with a special girl
she's gonna be right back
right back in my arms

That road is long, You can't Go wrong,
With blue skies up above
We've got the sun in our face and the wind in our wheels
Smile for the day and Sail to the stars
Make a wish and see. C'mon now board that train with me

I've got a one-way ticket to destiny
A one-way road to my future
And an intersection that will seal my fate
As a man so happy
Happy to be free

As we roll along with This train ride song
You know we'll meet lots of friends
Like the cowboy who's a samurai
Boy, what a combo, Holy cow what a guy
The conductor plays the bass
And the train it has a face

Stormy days are around the bend.
No wrenches, water, or outlets
Roll across a sea of burning oil
As mechanical sea serpents swarm around the train

Under a cloud that won't stop crying
Raining down on a mountain what spits fire
The sky and ground used to love so well

So we play them a song,
And we right their wrongs,
And everybody gets along

We've got a one-way ticket to destiny
A one-way road to our future
And a two-way love that we know so well
'Cause that is all you need to live

A One-way ticket to destiny
A One-way road to our future
And a two-way love that we know so well

'Cause that is all we need to live

A One-way ticket to destiny
A One-way road to our future
And a two-way love that we know so well

'Cause that is all you need to live
That is all you need to live
Love is all you need to live
Love is all you need to live
