twilight zone / twilight tone

Singer:manhattan transfer, the

with a key

you unlock a door to imagination

beyond it is another dimension

a dimension of sight

a dimension of sound

a dimension of mind

you're moving through a land of both shadow and substance

of things and ideas

guiding you through this wondrous journey

is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone

when i hear this melody

this strange illusion takes over me

through a tunnel of the mind

perhaps a present or future time oh

oh

out of nowhere comes this sound

this melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round

pyramidal locomotion

from a mystic unknown zone

hearin' the twilight

hearin' the twilight

twilight tone

unpretentious girl from memphis

saw the future through her third eye

people came with skepticism

picking

testing her precision

no

oh

oh

suddenly they heard this sound

this melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round

a signpost up ahead is calling

through the mystic unknown zone

hearin' the twilight

twilight swept away

feelin' the rhythm

hearin' the twilight

twilight swept away

ba da

loo da

ba da loo da

hearin' the twilight

twilight tone

submitted for your approval. one mr. miller

who's about

to take a trip into oddness and obsolescene

through a

zone whose boundaries are that of imagination

accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing

sound of the twilight tone

on a cold & rainy night

one mister miller had a rare flight

glen was up there boppin' a rhythm

then the engine stopped to listen with him

play that beat

oh

oh

suddenly he heard this sound

this melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round

now he resides and plays trombone

in the mystic unknown zone

hearin' the twilight.
