Nikola Tesla - Light's Out

[Verse 1] Nikola Tesla wouldn’t turn the lights out, Inventing and tinkering all night about. Machines would buzz, hiss, and whirl, While stars outside continued to twirl. [Chorus] Nikola, oh Nikola, in your electric glow, The world outside is fast asleep, But you don’t seem to know. Nikola, oh Nikola, the nights are wearing thin, Your lights burn bright from dusk to dawn, You never let them dim. [Verse 2] Edison’s ghost would visit with a shout, “Nikola, my friend, it’s time to knock out!” But Tesla just grinned with a madman’s cheer, Refusing to sleep year after year. [Bridge] The moon, it grew weary, tired of his glow, Said, “Nikola, please, let the night show.” But he’d tinker and fiddle, with no room for doubt, Nikola Tesla just wouldn’t turn the lights out. [Chorus] Nikola, oh Nikola, in your electric glow, The world outside is fast asleep, But you don’t seem to know. Nikola, oh Nikola, the nights are wearing thin, Your lights burn bright from dusk to dawn, You never let them dim. [Outro] The dawn breaks, a new day's begun, Still Nikola's work is never done. With his name in lights, he'll always be, The man who turned the night to spree.
