tesla, nikola – fragments of olympian gossip lyrics
(verse)
while listening on my cosmic phone
i caught words from the olympus blown
a newcomer was shown around;
that much i could guess, aided by sound
“there’s archimedes with his lever
still busy on problems as ever
(bridge)
says, “matter and force are transm-table
and wrong the laws you thought immutable.”
(verse 2)
below, on earth, they work at full blast
and news are coming in thick and fast
the latest tells of a cosmic gun
to be pelted is very poor fun
we are wary with so much at stake
those beggars are a pest—no mistake
too bad, sir isaac, they dimmed your renown
and turned your great science upside down
now a long haired crank, einstein by name
puts on your high teaching all the blame
(bridge)
says, “matter and force are transm-table
and wrong the laws you thought immutable.”
(verse 3)
i am much too ignorant, my son
for grasping schemes so finely spun
my followers are of stronger mind
and i am content to stay behind
perhaps i failed, but i did my best
these masters of mine may do the rest
come, kelvin, i have finished my cup
when is your friend tesla coming up.”
“oh, quoth kelvin, he is always late
it would be useless to remonstrate.”
then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet—
i knock and—the bedlam of the street
