Artichoke - Nikola Tesla текст песни

Croatian farm idyllic life
he loved to wallow in the grass with a cat
his brother died when he was five
Nikola Tesla went in search after that
they left their farm and he got weird
he’d catch a fever if he looked at a peach
the army started up the draft
Nikola Tesla roamed the hills out of reach
at polytechnic school in Graz
he studied like a man obsessed and he asked
if AC current might be best
Nikola Tesla fled before his exams
the 1893 world’s fair
illuminated by AC — powered lights
impressed Lord Kelvin and the rest
Nikola Tesla set the falls in his sights
he worked with Westinghouse and Co.
to keep the robber barons' cash satisfied
Niagara caused electron flow
Nikola Tesla had no doubt in his mind
