[Chorus]
Tesla
Brought the X-ray photo to the world
Brought the AC power to the world

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe that knowledge would drive one insane
How can that knowledge be tamed?

[Chorus]
Tesla
Ushered the radio wave into the world
Ushered the neon light
Into the world

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Under an X-ray of Mark Twain's skull
The plan for the death-ray's design

[Chorus]
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
