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
Let's do the time warp again
Let's do the time warp again
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
put your hands on your hips
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!
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 there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation
Like you're under sedation
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's do the time warp again!
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 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
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's do the time warp again!
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
put your hands on your hips
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!

Line by Line Meaning
It's astounding, time is fleeting
Time is a fantastic, yet fleeting concept
Madness takes its toll
Too much of anything can have consequences
But listen closely, not for very much longer
Pay attention, this won't last forever
I've got to keep control
I need to stay composed and on top of things
I remember doing the time warp
I have fond memories of experiencing the time warp
Drinking those moments when
Savoring and cherishing each of those moments when
The blackness would hit me
The darkness would encompass me
And the void would be calling
The emptiness would be beckoning me
Let's do the time warp again
Let's experience that feeling again
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's experience that feeling again!
It's just a jump to the left
Moving a little to the left
And then a step to the right
And then taking a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
When you place your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
You bring your knees closer together
But it's the pelvic thrust
But the most important movement is the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane,
Which really causes you to lose your mind
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's experience that feeling again!
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
It's so captivating, a fantasy that sets me free
So you can't see me, no not at all
So you couldn't recognize me even if you tried
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
In an alternate realm, with secret motivations to watch
Well-secluded, I see all
Hiding away in isolation, observing everything
With a bit of a mind flip
With a slight twist of the mind
You're there in the time slip
You exist in a moment beyond time itself
And nothing can ever be the same
And the world is forever changed
You're spaced out on sensation,
You feel out of this world with sensation
Like you're under sedation
As if you were under the influence of medication
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's experience that feeling again!
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
I was simply taking a walk, lost in my thoughts
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
When a deceitful person gave me an ominous look
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He disturbed me, completely caught me off guard
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He had a vehicle and a nefarious gaze
He stared at me and I felt a change
He fixed his gaze at me and I sensed something different
Time meant nothing, never would again
Time had lost its significance, it would never be the same
Let's do the time warp again!
Let's experience that feeling again!
