Lyrics
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 and 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From this mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, 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 and 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
From 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

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

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 and 'round
Now he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone

Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hmm hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hmm hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight, hearing the)
Hearin' the twilight (the twilight)
