Edison

When I have time to dance, I want to invent something

When I have time to sing, I want to invent something

I'll turn down the live gigs, I want to invent something

A genius inventor like that, that's what I'll be

When I have time to dance, I want to invent something

When I have time to sing, I want to invent something

I'll turn down the live gigs, I want to invent something

A genius inventor like that, that's what I'll be

Dancing Edison, Self-esteem

Singing Edison, Edison's mind

Dancing Edison Self-esteem

Singing Edison, Edison's mind1

Since I was a little kid

I've been listening to house music at my house,

Checking out streaming service playlists,

DJing at clubs when I could find the music for it,

When I had time to spend on my computer, I'd be a bedroom producer with Ableton Live

But right now what I want to make is a phonograph2!

The art of throwing a party for my inner circle

The good feeling of starting up a band,

Getting a major label debut out of the buzz by pure luck--

But for some reason now I'm just a down-on-his-luck musician...

Dancing Edison, Self-esteem

Singing Edison, Edison's mind

Dancing Edison Self-esteem

Singing Edison, Edison's mind

Getting a tiny bit of inspiration from watching YouTube

Communication spreading, connecting the creators on social media

Awesome posts on Instagram (Goals!),

Getting new info from news online

Without a doubt the era of the moving picture3 is beginning!

When I have time to dance, I want to invent something

When I have time to sing, I want to invent something

I'll turn down the live gigs, I want to invent something

A genius inventor like that, that's what I'll be

Singing Edison, Edison's mind

1. This part really isn't translatable in a way that sounds as good as the Japanese. Edison is 'ejison' in Japanese; the word for self-esteem is 'jisonshin' and ends in 心, the kanji for "heart" or "mind", read "shin". The way the Japanese is written, every other line the end of the line sounds the same, but is written alternately 'self-esteem' and 'Ejison shin', which sounds like "Edison's mind".
2. An Edison invention.
3. A purposely dated term is used here for this--referring to another Edison invention, the kinetograph.
