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 ’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 wo oh oh
suddenly they heard this sound
this melody that keeps spinning ’round ’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 ’round
now he resides and plays trombone
in the mystic unknown zone
hearin’ the twilight repeat many times
hearin’ the twilight
