The album version of the song is 8 minutes long, but this version never got an official music video.
The original version of the "Twilight Zone" video was censored by MTV because of a shot of a topless female assassin in a hotel room and the injection of a syringe during the torture scene.
The 1964 photo 'Cutting the Card Quickly!' by M.I.T. professor Harold "Doc" Edgerton showing the jack of diamonds playing card being shredded by a bullet is heavily featured in the video and also serves as the cover image for the album that the song is from.
The song was written by the band's guitarist George Kooymans, who got the inspiration from Robert Ludlum's novel "The Bourne Identity," which later inspired the Bourne movie franchise.
