    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

(Ahhs)
A man takes off from an airfield
and he's a'soaring very far from home
'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky
He's homesick and he knows
it'll be a long time till he's done
and he's got a beautiful girl
waiting at home

He opens up a letter from her. She writes,
here's a color picture of me
(a pretty picture)
Just head towards my blue eyes,
when you're finding your way back to me

Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home

Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home

Straight through the sky
headed towards her blue eyes

A lieutenant of the Navy
took his very first steps today
Onto the ship that would become his new home
He and his wife
had shared a very special goodbye
when they kissed in the night underneath
a star of their own

As the lieutenant gazed up
and saw their star shining bright
(oh so bright)
He knew it would guide him home
when the time was right

Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home

Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home

Starin' into the night
Keeping their star in sight

All you infantry men and you riveting gals
don't ever need to give up hope
all you doctors, and nurses, and engineers
need not worry for long
If we all look towards what we miss most
and keep that drive in our heart

Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home

Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
