The Twilight Zone (PT 1): (5-18) From a small suburban town, nothing out of the norm But sometimes, things change, like the night of storm House on the hill, the Richardson’s have done quite well Made a fortune on the stock market, buy it then sell But with a keen intuition that is hard to perceive Some can see between the lines, that’s the story of Steve High School football star, but he injured his knee Effectively changing what his future could be Clean cut kid, turned to the bottle to cope Down and out, last leg, no signs of hope Then one night, local diner, when his thoughts are extreme He’s thinking, it’s his last meal, he’s given up on the dream.
