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
