By Alan Paul and Jay Graydon, Lyrics by Alan Paul

(SPOKEN INTRO)
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
BR
BRHearin' the twilight
BRHearin' the twilight, twilight tone
BR
BRUnpretentious girl from Memphis
BRSaw the future through her third eye
BRPeople came with skepticism
BRPicking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
BRSuddenly they heard this sound
BRThis melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
BRA signpost up ahead is calling
BRThrough the mystic unknown zone
BR
BRHearin' the twilight
BRTwilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm
BRHearin' the twilight
BRTwilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da
BRHearin' the twilight
BRTwilight tone
BR
BRSubmitted for your approval. One Mr. Miller, who's about
BRto take a trip into oddness and obsolescene, through a
BRzone whose boundaries are that of imagination.
BRAccompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
BRsound of the Twilight Tone.
BR
BROn a cold & rainy night
BROne Mister Miller had a rare flight
BRGlen was up there boppin' a rhythm
BRThen the engine stopped to listen with him
BRPlay that beat, oh, oh
BRSuddenly he heard this sound
BRThis melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
BRNow he resides and plays trombone
BRIn the mystic unknown zone
BR
BRHearin' the twilight ( repeat many times )
BR(Hearin' the twilight)
BR
