he smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off he's got threes 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 instore
Come explore you're 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 instore
Come explore you're dreams creation
Enter this world of imagination
