MANHATTAN TRANSFER
 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

 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 & '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 ( repeat many times )
 (Hearin' the twilight
