They Might Be Giants
Tesla (2 4 6 8 Remix)
Tesla
Brought the X-ray photo to the world
Brought the AC power to the world
2, 4, 6, 8
2, 4, 6, 8
Here is a mind
That can see across space
Here is a mind soaring free (no)
Sound turns to light
And light turns to waves
And waves turn to all things perceived (no)
Maybe that knowledge would drive one insane (2, 4, 6, 8)
How can that knowledge be tamed?
Tesla (no)
Ushered the radio wave into the world
Ushered the neon light
Into the world
2, 4, 6, 8
2, 4, 6, 8
The Hotel New Yorker (no)
He's dead on the floor
The body of Nikola lies (no)
With just his papers
No family to tell
Out of the windows birds fly (no)
Under an X-ray of Mark Twain's skull
The plan for the death-ray's design
Tesla (2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8)
Brought the radar detection to the world (2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8) (???)
Ushered remote control (2, 4, 6, 8)
Into the world
Ushered the bladeless turbine
Into the world
Ushered the neon light
Into the world
