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

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

[00:00:00] The Edison Museum

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:20] Just outside the gate

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

[00:00:25] Underneath the gathering thunderstorm

[00:00:30] Through the iron bars

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

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

[00:00:40] In the topmost tower

[00:00:42] A light burns dim

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

[00:00:50] The Edison Museum

[00:00:53] Once a bustling factory

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

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

[00:01:00] The tallest widest

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

[00:01:10] Behind a wooden door

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

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

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

[00:01:22] Like silent moving pictures

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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