歌曲歌詞
In the last days of wonder
When spirits still flew
Where we sat holding hands
In half-darkened rooms
Nicola Tesla in the Hotel New Yorker
Nursing sick pigeons by the open window
Dreamed of a death ray to disintegrate matter
Detected Morse Code from far away planets
He couldn't stand the touch of hair or of skin
But stroked feathers gently on trembling wings
Drew plans for a camera to photograph thoughts
Vacuum tube lights, wireless phones
In the last days of wonder
When spirits still flew
Round bubbling test tubes
In half-darkened rooms
Edison and Westinghouse
In silk brocade
Ate oysters rockefeller
With French champagne
But Tesla grew thin
Eating only saltines
Going days in his lab
Without any sleep
Dreaming of God
As an x-ray beam
He was hit by a cab
While crossing the street
Lying on his bedspread
He struggled to breathe
The light bulbs exploded
The air filled with wings
In the last days of wonder
