Lyrics:
(RiffRaff:)
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely...
(Magenta:)
Not for very much longer
(RiffRaff:)
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...
(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
(RiffRaff:)
With a bit of a mind flip
(Magenta:)
You're into the time slip
(RiffRaff:)
And nothing can ever be the same
(Magenta:)
You're spaced out on sensation
(RiffRaff:)
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-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 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
