Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's astounding

Time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control

[Verse 2]

I remember doing the Time Warp

Drinking those moments when

The blackness would hit me

And the void would be calling

[Chorus]

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again

[Verse 5]

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

[Chorus]

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again
