Tesla - They Might Be Giants

Tesla

Brought the X-ray photo to the world

Brought the AC power to the world

Here is a mind

That can see across space

Here is a mind soaring free

Sound turns to light

And light turns to waves

And waves turn to all things perceived

Maybe that knowledge would drive one insane

How can that knowledge be tamed?

Tesla

Ushered the radio wave into the world

Ushered the neon light

Into the world

The Hotel New Yorker

He’s dead on the floor

The body of Nikola lies

With just his papers

No family to tell

Out of the windows birds fly

Under an X-ray of Mark Twain’s skull

The plan for the death-ray's design

Tesla

Brought the radar detection to the world

Ushered remote control

Into the world

Ushered the bladeless turbine

Into the world

Ushered the neon light

Into the world
