The Time Warp - Lyrics by Rocky Horror Picture Show


Lyrics
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 darkness would hit me
Riff & Magenta: And a void would be calling...
Transylvanians: Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Narrator: It's just a jump to the left.
All: And then a step to the right.
Narrator: With your hands on your hips.
All: 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.
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.
All: Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Columbia: Well I was walking down the street just having a think
When this snake of a guy gave me an evil wink.
He shook 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.
All: Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Narrator: It's just a jump to the left.
All: And then a step to the right.
Narrator: With your hands on your hips.
All: 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.
