"There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man.  It is realm as vast as space, and as timeless, as infinity.  It is the middle ground between light and shadow;  between science and superstition;  and it lies between the pit of man's fear, and the summit of his knowledge.  These are dimensions of the imagination... it is an area which we call... The Twilight Zone."

The Twilight Zone

Lyrics by Neil Peart

A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes (ref: _Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up?_ (vhs/ntsc))

 
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourthdimension is crossed

You have entered the Twilight Zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate might have in store
Come explore your dreams' creation
Enter this world of imagination

You wake up lost in an empty town
• (ref: the pilot _Where Is Everybody?_)
Wondering why no one else is around Look up to see a giant boy
• (ref: _Stopover In A Quiet Town_ except it's a giant girl, not boy)
You've just become his brand new toy
And no escape, no place to hide
Here where Time and Space collide

Haloes were found, at the landing sites, vanishing
Vanishing victims, kept alive on metal examining tables
Ex-Experts baffled they could survive the caustic exposure
to laser scalpels,green berets
Flowing cold heads in mechanical wombs
Radioactive constant temperature circular appendages
Cripples start shaking sending distress signals
We're not alone in the Twilight Zone
            "They waved among the trees at breakneck speed"
[Kool Keith] Keep it simple!
*scratched* "They waved among the trees at breakneck speed"
[Kool Keith] Keep it simple!
 - _Dr. Octagon_ byDr. Octagon off of _Dr. Octagonecologyst_ CDb
