Time Warp Lyrics by Richard O’Brien

Absolute Treasures: The Rocky Horror Picture Show - The Complete and Definitive Soundtrack (2015 40th Anniversary Re-Mastered Edition)

1975

[Verse 1: Riff Raff, Magenta, Both]
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
[Refrain: All]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
[Chorus: All, The Criminologist]
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
[Refrain: All]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
[Verse 2: Magenta, Riff Raff]
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
[Refrain: All]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
[Verse 3: 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-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
[Refrain: All]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
[Chorus: All, The Criminologist]
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
[Refrain: All]
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
