Lyrics
[Riff Raff]: It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, [Magenta]: not for very much longer
[Riff]: I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
[Both]: And the void would be calling
[Chorus]: Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Chorus:
[Criminologist]: It's just a jump to the left
[Chorus]: And then a step to the right
[Criminologist]: With your hands on your hips
[Chorus]: 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]: With a bit of a mind flip
[Magenta]: You're there in the time slip
[Riff]: And nothing can ever be the same
[Magenta]: You're spaced out on sensation,
[Riff]: like you're under sedation!
[Chorus]: 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 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
[Chorus]: Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Chorus
