Lyrics:

\\n

Morse has chained the lightning

\\n

The rumors are true

\\n

All this dashing and dotting\\u2019s gonna bring the world home to you

\\n

And tell you what it is or what it might be

\\n

So drink today\\u2019s coffee with tomorrow\\u2019s news...

\\n

\\n

There\\u2019s no more elsewhere

\\n

Everywhere is here

\\n

With an o-perator, tap-tapping our hope and fear

\\n

Speculation and excitement

\\n

The clock hands froze the miles disappeared

\\n

When Morse chained the lightning

\\n

Morse has chained the lightning

\\n

\\n

Behold these tyrants

\\n

Assassins and thieves

\\n

Haters of light, law

\\n

And liberty

\\n

Then behold Morse\\u2019s lightning

\\n

Nipping at their heels

\\n

Fixing to strike them in the middle of the battlefield

\\n

Where they left America dying

\\n

Of the great divide in what she thinks and feels

\\n

Before Morse chained the lightning
