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 Truth is false and logic lost Now the fourth dimension 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 Wondering why no one else is around Look up to see a giant boy You've just become his brand new toy No escape, no place to hide Here where time and space collide 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...
