1000 Pound Machine Lyrics

The pressing of the key
Rocks the center rail
Pushes down the jack
Which makes the hammer fall
Until it strikes the string
And sends out good vibrations
Across the cast-iron plate
The soundboard starts to ring
Then when the key's released
The backcheck drops the catch
And the hammer falls back down
Until it's struck again
And this is how it works
A simple pair of hands
Still a mystery
The music of the spheres
A thousand pound machine
