The Edison Museum - They Might Be Giants[00:00:00]

Written by：John Flansb/They Might Be Giants[00:00:00]

The Edison Museum[00:00:00]

Not open to the public[00:00:03]

It's haunted towers rise[00:00:05]

Into the clouds above it[00:00:08]

Folks drive in from out of town[00:00:10]

To gaze in amazement when they see it[00:00:15]

Just outside the gate[00:00:20]

I look into the courtyard[00:00:23]

Underneath the gathering thunderstorm[00:00:25]

Through the iron bars[00:00:30]

I see the Black Maria[00:00:33]

Revolving slowly on it's platform[00:00:35]

In the topmost tower[00:00:40]

A light burns dim[00:00:42]

A coiling filament glowing within[00:00:45]

The Edison Museum[00:00:50]

Once a bustling factory[00:00:53]

Today is but a darkened[00:00:55]

Cobweb covered hive of industry[00:00:57]

The tallest widest[00:01:00]

And most famous haunted mansion in New Jersey[00:01:03]

Behind a wooden door[00:01:10]

The voice of Thomas Alva[00:01:12]

Recites a poem on a phonograph[00:01:15]

Ghosts float up the stair[00:01:20]

Like silent moving pictures[00:01:22]

The loyal phantoms of his in house staff[00:01:25]

A wondrous place it is[00:01:30]

There can be no doubt[00:01:32]

But no one ever goes in[00:01:35]

And no one ever goes out[00:01:37]

So when your children quarrel[00:01:39]

And nothing seems to quell them[00:01:42]

Just tell them that you'll take them to the Edison Museum[00:01:45]

The largest independently owned and operated mausoleum[00:01:50]
