"1900 Electric" Lyrics words and music by Alex Cosper © Orange Underworld Music, BMI 1900 electric the dawn of the modern age trolley cars were electric history turns the page No supermarkets or suburbia most people didn't drive cars but you could see the city skyline at night just like a million stars 1900 Victoria the end of the Gilded Age electricity brought euphoria its mystery was the rage Hydro power generators underground rail and elevators to high-rise dreams But no refrigerators washers and driers radio or TV Meet friends at the opera or in the family room Sci-fi writers were popular lost generation coming soon Pipe organs at roller rinks no speakers to blast the phonograph Wireless was an experiment but there was telephone and telegraph Orchestras played to silent films pianos in thousands of homes The gold standard paved the way for millions of electric homes 1900 eclectic forms of energy AC/DC, magnetic, batteries and hand-cranked machines Don't forget steam and kerosene 1900 electric, 1900 electric 1900 electric, 1900 electric  |
