(Alan Paul and Jay Graydon, Lyrics by Alan Paul)
|
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 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
|
(Ooooooh, twilight)
|
Hearin' the twilight
|
(Hearin' the twilight)
|
