The Time Warp (From "The Rocky Horror Show")
The time warp
(riff raff)
it's astounding
time is fleeting
madness takes its toll
but listen closely
(magenta)
not for very much longer
(riff raff)
i've got to keep control
i remember doing the time warp
drinking those moments when
the blackness would hit me
(riff and magenta)
and the void would be calling
let's do the time warp again
let's do the time warp again
(criminologist)
it's just a jump to the left
and then a step to the right
(criminologist)
put your hands on your hips
and bring your knees in tight
but it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane
let's do the time warp again
let's do the time warp again
(magenta)
it's so dreamy
oh, fantasy free me
so you can't see me
no, not at all
in another dimension
with voyeuristic intention
well secluded, i see all
(riff raff)
with a bit of a mind flip
(magenta)
you're into the time slip
(riff raff)
and nothing can ever be the same
(magenta)
you're spaced out on sensation
(riff raff)
like you're under sedation
let's do the time warp again
let's do the time warp again
(columbia)
well i was walking down the street
just a having a think
when a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
he shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
he had a pick up truck and the devil's eyes
he stared at me and i felt a change
time meant nothing, never would again
let's do the time warp again
let's do the time warp again
(criminologist)
it's just a jump to the left
and then a step to the right
(criminologist)
put your hands on your hips
and bring your knees in tight
but it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane
let's do the time warp again
let's do the time warp again
(riff raff)
it's astounding
time is fleeting
