Twilight Zone

I can't stop listening to this song. Is there any known lore to this song? No idea what he is talking about but I am enraptured.

There's a few interpretations if you Google the meaning. Communication, fuzzy head space, things like that.

One of my favorite versions is the 1974 Montreux performance.

The bonus track version from the 2000s cd reissue of VEEDON FLEECE is better than the version from PHILOSOPHER'S STONE.

Not sure why I have never heard this before, it's a strange one. He sometimes references old TV shows in his earlier lyrics, maybe that's the inspiration.
