The Rocky Horror Show: Time Warp Songtext

von Richard O'Brien

(Narrator:) It seemed fortune had smiled on Brad and Janet and that
They had found the assistance their plight required. Or had they?

(Riff Raff:) Hello.
(Brad:) Hi. I'm Brad Majors and this my fiancee, Janet Weiss. I wonder if
You might help us. You see our car broke down a few miles up the road.
Do you have a phone we might use?
(Riff Raff:) Yes. I think you'd better both come inside. This way.
(Janet:) Are you havng a party?
(Riff Raff:) You've arrived on a rather special night. It's one of the master's
Affairs.
(Janet:) Oh. Lucky him.
(Magenta:) You're lucky. He's lucky. I'm lucky. We're all lucky.

(Riff Raff:)It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes it's 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 blackness would hit me
(Magenta:) And a void would be calling

(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

(Magenta:) It's so dreamy
So fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intension
Well secluded, I'll see all
(Riff Raff:) With a bit of a mind flip
(Magenta:)You're into the time slip
(Riff Raff:) And nothing will 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-a havin' 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 pick-up 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
