(narrator) There is a fifth dimension
Beyond that which Is known to man.
It is a dimension 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 fears
And the summit Of his knowledge.
This is the dimension Of imagination.
It is an area Which we call The twilight zone.
Portrait of A man at work.
The only work he's Ever done. The only Work he knows.
His name is Henry francis valentine, But he calls himself rocky
Because that's the way His life has been.
Rocky and perilous And uphill at a dead Run all the way.
He's tired now, tired Of running or wanting
Of waiting for the Breaks that come to Others but never to him.
Never to rocky valentine.
