The Edison Museum |
The edison museum, not open to the public |
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above |
Folks drive in from out of town |
To gaze in amazement when they see it Just outside the gate I look into the courtyard |
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm |
Through the iron bars, I see the black maria |
Revolving slowly in its platform |
In the topmost tower, the lights burn dim |
A coiling filament glowing within |
The edison museum, once a bustling factory |
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of industry |
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey |
Behind a wooden door, the voice of thomas alva |
Recites a poem on a phonograph |
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving pictures |
The loyal phantoms of his in house staff |
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt |
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out |
The edison museum, not open to the public |
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it The oldest, greatest and most famous haunted mansion in new jersey |
