[INTRO]
C G C Bm
[CHORUS]
In the lAmast days of wEmonder when spFirits still fClew,
where we sAmat holding hEmands in hFalf-darkened rCooms,
[VERSE 1]
NCicola TGesla in the hFotel New YCorker,
nAmursing sick pEmigeons Fby the open wCindow,
drCeamed of a dGeath ray to disFintegrate mCatter,
deAmtected Morse cEmode from fFaraway plCanets
He cFouldn't stand the touch of hCair or of skin
but strDmoked feathers gently on trAmembling wings
and drew pFlans for a camera to phCotograph thoughts,
VDmacuum tube lights, Fwireless phoneCs C/B
[CHORUS]
In the lAmast days of wEmonder when spFirits still fClew,
'round Ambubbling tEmest tubes in hFalf-darkened rCooms,
[VERSE 2]
ECdison and WGestinghouse iFn silk broCcade
ate oAmysters RockerEmfeller with FrFench champCagne.
BCut Tesla grew tGhin eating oFnly salCtines,
going dAmays in his lEmab withoFut any slCeep
DrFeaming of god as an CX-ray beam,
he was Dmhit by a cab while cAmrossing the street
LFying on his bedspread he strCuggled to breathe
the lDmight bulbs exploded the aFir filled with wings C C/B
[CHORUS]
In the lAmast days of wEmonder when spFirits still fClew,
TAmesla vaEmcated his hFalf-darkened rCoom
