Twilight Tone Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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, ohh 

Out of nowhere comes this sound 

This melody that keeps spinning round and round 

Pyramidal locomotion 

From this mystic unknown zone 

Here in the twilight 

Here in the twilight, twilight tone 

Unpretentious girl from Memphis 

Saw the future through her third eye 

People came with skepticism 

Picking, testing her precision, no, ohh 

Suddenly they heard this sound 

This melody that keeps spinning round and round 

A signpost up ahead is calling 

From this mystic unknown zone 

Here in the twilight 

(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm) 

Here in the twilight 

(Twilight swept away, ba da loo da, ba da loo da) 

Here in the twilight, twilight tone 

Here in the twilight 

(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm) 

Here in the twilight 

(Twilight swept away, ba da loo da, ba da loo da) 

Here in the twilight, twilight tone 

Submitted for your approval, one Mr. Miller 

Who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescence 

Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination 

Accompanying him on this journey 

Is the mesmerizing aound of the twilight tone 

On a cold and rainy night 

One Mr. Miller had a rare flight 

Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm 

Then the engine stopped to listen with him play the beat, ohh 

Suddenly he heard this sound 

This melody that keeps spinning round and round 

Now he resides and plays trombone 

In the mystic unknown zone 

Here in the twilight 

Here in the twilight 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

Here in the twilight 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight) 

Here in the twilight 

(Here in the twilight, here in the twilight, here in the twilight)
