"Over At The Frankenstein Place" is a song written by Richard O'Brien that appears in The Rocky Horror Show.
The song also appears in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again.
The song is performed by Brad Majors, Janet Weiss, and Riff Raff. The song refers to Frankenstein.
Although the song title appears as "Over At The Frankenstein Place" on most soundtrack recordings, the song is often referred to as "There's A Light" based on the songs lyrics.
Occasionally the title appears in print as "(There's A Light) Over At The Frankenstein Place", where others list it as "There's A Light (Over At The Frankenstein Place)". The original film and soundtrack album omitted a second verse, sung by Barry Bostwick as Brad Majors, though it was filmed and recorded.

Lyrics

In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, a light
In the darkness of everybody's life
I can see the flag fly, I can see the rain
Just the same, there has got to be
Something better here for you and me
The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, a light
In the darkness of everybody's life
