Time warp

Tekst: Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell og Charles Gray (1973)
Mel.: Richard O'Brien og Richard Hartley

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 pickup 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
