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
