Lyrics Richard O'Brien

Richard O'Brien

The Time Warp

It's astounding;

Time is fleeting;

Madness takes it's toll.

But listen closely

Not for very much longer.

I've got to keep control.

I remember doing the time-warp

Drinking the 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.

An then a step to the right.

Narrator:

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 of 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 give 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 starred 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.
