Gentlemen, I tell you now

I swear the truth

I saw the table rise, the teacup flew

From tempered glass I built the apparatus

To alight in the presence of phantasmus

Filaments within detect a change

In aero-pressure, barometric waves

Gentlemen, in the name of science!

Gentlemen, I now can prove

The unseen world is close, it pushes through

Gentlemen, the lights blew out!

Gentlemen, the curtains moved!

A world of light resides just past our view

Within the crooks of vacuum tubes

A caged spirit lit aglow the room

Burst forth from the shattered tube

It thinned my blood, burnt me, ravaged cruel

Gentlemen, the lights do flicker!

Gentlemen, the air it cools!

Who's with me here, listening in this room?

Gentlemen, the world grows dark!

Gentlemen, the curtains moved!

Who's with me here, whispering in this room?
