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
