Don't turn the light on, leave it out
It's just a reminder of my darkest hour
There’s a ghost of a man who took what’s mine
It comes back to haunt me every night
I can't be accused of lack of vision
If I finished first, things would be different
He's one step ahead in every instant
It's no fun to be Edison's rival
One night I came home, something wasn’t right
The light from the window shone too bright
I stepped through the front door just to find
The two of them bathed in electric light
I can't be accused of lack of vision
If I finished first, things would be different
He's one step ahead in every instant
It's no fun to be Edison's rival
