[Intro]

Whoa-oh prisoner, my pretty

Whoa-oh prisoner


[Verse 1]

A black ocean is the sky above

Tiny lights bob, what star you from

Trapped in 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 that she wrote


[Chorus]

Twilight zone, twilight zone

I’m floating in the dark alone and

Is there any love out here, let me know


[Verse 2]

A laser light pinpoints 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

Good calls, crystal balls on sidewalk malls

Psychic people outdoors readin’ palms

I believe that you know more

To survive the dimension is four


[Interlude]

Whoa-oh prisoner, my pretty

Whoa-oh prisoner


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

Twilight zone, twilight zone

I’m floating in the dark alone and

Is there any love out here let me know (no way)

Twilight zone, twilight zone

I’m floating in the dark alone and

Is there any love out here let me know (no way, no way)
