Lyrics/Song Structure:
Whoa oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
A black ocean is the sky above
Tiny lights bob what star you from
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
Twlight zone, twilight zone
I'm floating in the dark alone
And is there any love out here let me know
A laser lights the top of my dome
Then through my body
As if Scotty's beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows, humans rhymin' in a reggae verse
It's gone if you blink
I can see it as soon as you think it
Halls, crystal balls, on sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
I believe that you know more
To survive the dimension is four
Oh oh prisoner
My pretty oh oh prisoner
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
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
