Lyrics/Song
Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
--->
Play Riff 1 & Riff 2 (x4)
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
---> Play
Fill 1 over:
A black ocean is
the sky above
Tiny lights bob
what star you from
---> Play Riff 4 over:
Trapped in a material plane
She wants to fly and they think she's
insane
But she knows what she
know
Give that girl wings and
that's all she wrote
---> Play Riff 5 over:
Twlight zone, twilight zone
I'm floating in the dark alone
And is there any love out here let me
know
---> Play Riff 6 (x1)
---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
--->
Play Fill 1 over:
A laser lights
the top of my dome
Then through
my body
As if Scotty's beaming
up a wayward soul
---> Play Fill 2 over:
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows, humans rhymin' in a reggae
verse
---> Play Riff 4 over:
It's gone if you blink
I
can see it as soon as you think it
---> Play Fill 2 over:
Halls, crystal balls, on sidewalk
malls
Psychic people outdoors
reading palms
---> Play Riff 4 over:
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four
---> Play Riff 1
over:
Oh oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
---> Play
Riff 6 over:
Look at the way
she's searching
Trapped in a
world that's hurting
So bad it
makes her cry
But I won't let
her say goodbye
---> Play Riff 1 & Riff 2 over:
Twlight zone, twilight zone
I'm floating in the dark alone
And is there any love out here let me
know
Twlight zone, twilight
zone
I'm floating in the dark
alone
And is there any love out
here let me know
