             6   -6* -7 -7
(Riff Raff) It's astounding
-7-6* -7 -8-7 -6*
Time  is fleeting
 7  7    -6*  -5    6
Madness takes it's toll...
             6   6 -6*  -7 -7
(Riff Raff) But listen closely...
          -7  -7  -7 7* -7  -8-7 -6*
(Magenta) Not for very much longer...
              7   7   7  -6*  -5 6
(Riff Raff) I've got to keep control.
6 -6*-7-7  -7 7* -7  -8-7  -6*
I remember doing the Time Warp.
  7  7    -6*   -6*-5   6
Drinking those moments when
 6    6  -6*    7   -7  -7
The blackness would hit me.
                      -7  -7   -7    7*  -7
(Riff Raff & Magenta) And the void would be 
-8-7 -6*
calling.
          -10  10 10   11  -10* -10*-10* 10
(Guests) Let's do the Time Warp again.~~~~~
-10    10 10  11  -10* -10*-10* 10
Let's do the Time Warp again.~~~~~~~
            6     6  6   6  -5  5*  -4
(Narrator) It's just a jump to the left.
          8    8  8   8  -8 -7 -7 -7-7 7-6* 6
(Guests) And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-i-ght.
             6    6    6  -5  5*   -4
(Narrator) With your hand on your hips.
          8    8     8    8   -8 -7-8 8
(Guests) You bring your knees in tight.
 8   -8  -7   8 8   -8 8-8-7
But it's the pelvic thrust.
-6*   -7-6*   8   -7  -8 8*8*8*8-8 -7
They really drive you insa-a-a-a-a-ane.
-10   10 10   11   -10*-10*-10* 10
Let's do the Time Warp again.~~~~~~
-10   10 10   11   -10*-10*-10* 10

           6   -6* -7-7
(Magenta) It's so dreamy
-7  -7-7 7* -8-7 -6*
Oh, fantasy free me
-6*-6*  -6*   7  7
So you can't see me
-6*-6* -5  6
No not at all.

6   6 6 6   -6*-7-7
In another dimension
 -7  -7 -7 -7 7*  -7-8-7-6*
With voyeuristic intention.
-6*  -6* 7 7 -6* -5  6
Well secluded I see all...

              6  6  6  6 -6* -7   -7
(Riff Raff) With a bit of a mind flip...

           -7    -7 7* -7-8-7  -6*
(Magenta) You're into  a time slip...
 
             7  7   -6* -6*-5 -7 -6*  6
(Riff Raff) Nothing can  ever be the same.

            6       6    6 -6* -6*-7-7
(Magenta) You're spaced out on sensation.

             -7   -7    -7 7* -7-8 -7-6*
(Riff Raff) Like you're under sedation.
         -10   10 10   11  -10* -10*-10* 10

            6   -6* 7*  -7 -7   -7  -7    -7
(Columbia) Well, I was walking down the street
 6  -6* -7-7 -7   6
Just a having a think
  6 -6* -7   -7 -7 -7
When a snake of a guy
 -7 -8  -7 10 9*-8   -7
Gave me an e--vil   wink.
 -7 -6*  -7  -7  -7
Well it shook me up
6  -6*  -7 -7  -7 =7
It took me by surprise
6  -6*-7  -7 -7   -7
He had a pick-up truck
-7  -7  10 9*-8   -7
And the de-vil's eyes
-7   -8   -8 -8
He stared at me
-8 -8  -7 -7  -7
And I felt a change
 -7   -7   -7  6
Time meant nothing
-6*7*  -7   -7 -7
Never would again.
