Lyrics The Time Warp - Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell

The Time Warp

It’s astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
It’s just a jump to the left
(And then a step to the right)
With your hands on your hips
(You 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)
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
With a bit of a mind flip
You’re into the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You’re spaced out on sensation
Like you’re under sedation
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
(Let's do the Time Warp again)
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)
It’s just a jump to the left
(And then a step to the right)
With your hands on your hips
(You 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)
