Twilight Zone Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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)
