THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Twilight Zone / Twilight Tone"

(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)
