Don't Dream It Be It
Richard O'Brien Lyrics

It was great when it all began
Everything seemed wonderful at the start.

I was a regular Frankie fan
I was a follower of this person named Frankie.

But it was over when he had the plan
Things changed when Frankie came up with a new idea.

To start working on a muscle man
Frankie's new idea was to create a muscular man.

Now the only thing that gives me hope
The only thing that keeps me optimistic is something specific.

Is my love of a certain dope
My drug of choice is something I care about deeply.

Rose tints my world
My outlook on life is often overly romanticized.

Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
But it's necessary because it helps me escape from the harsh realities of life.

I'm just seven hours old
I'm still very young and inexperienced.

Truly beautiful to behold
But I am admired for my looks.

And somebody should be told
People need to know a specific fact about me.

My libido hasn't been controlled
I have a high sex drive that I cannot ignore.

Now the only thing I've come to trust
The only thing that I know is reliable.

Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Is the feeling of intense sexual pleasure.

And keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
It helps me temporarily forget about my worries and struggles.

It's beyond me
I am confused and unsure.

Help me, mommy
I need someone to assist me or give me guidance.

I'll be good, you'll see
I promise to behave well.

Take this dream away
I want to forget about this unrealistic fantasy.

What this, let's see
I'm curious about what's happening or what's next.

I feel sexy
I am attracted to myself or other people.

What's come over me?
I'm not sure why I'm feeling this way.

Woo, here it comes again
I'm experiencing a sensation or feeling again that I've felt before.

I feel released
I feel free from a burden or restriction.

Bad times deceased
I'm no longer in a difficult or stressful situation.

My confidence has increased
I'm feeling more sure of myself and my abilities.

Reality is here
The truth of the situation is now apparent to me.

The game has been disbanded
There's no point in continuing the facade or charade anymore.

My mind has been expanded
I have gained new ideas or insights that I didn't have before.

It's a gas that Frankie's landed
Frankie has succeeded in his plan, to humorous effect.

His lust is so sincere
Frankie's intense desire is completely genuine.

Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
Where did Fay Wray go or what ever became of her?

That delicate satin draped frame
Referring to Fay Wray's elegant clothing or appearance.

As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
Seeing her body affects me emotionally.

'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
I want to be physically similar to Fay Wray.

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Fully indulge in pleasurable experiences.

Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Experience the physical pleasures that life has to offer.

Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
The intense or extreme nature of these experiences might be overwhelming.

And sensual daydreams to treasure forever
It'll be worth it because these memories will last a lifetime.

Can't you just see it? oh oh oh
Can't you envision it, too?

Don't dream it, be it
Stop fantasizing and follow through with your desires.

Ach, we've got to get out of this trap (don't dream it, be it)
We need to escape this constrained mindset and just act upon our desires.

Before this decadence saps our will (don't dream it, be it)
Before our morals or willpower are completely exhausted by engaging in indulgent behavior.

I've got to be strong and try to hang on (don't dream it, be it)
I need to resist being consumed by my desires and stay focused on my goals.

Or else my mind may well snap (don't dream it, be it)
Otherwise, I run the risk of losing my mental stability.

Und my life will be lived for the thrills (don't dream it, be it)
And my life will only be lived for the sake of temporary pleasures.

God bless Lili St. Cyr
An expression of thanks or appreciation for Lili St. Cyr, a famous burlesque dancer.

My my my, my my my my my, my my my my
An exclamation or sigh of excitement.

I'm a wild and untamed thing
I am uncontrolled and free-spirited.

I'm a bee with a deadly sting
I'm dangerous and unpredictable.

You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Something triggers a strong reaction or sensation in your mind.

Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
Your body will react and you'll feel exhilarated.

So let the party and the sound rock on
Just keep celebrating and enjoying the excitement of the moment.

We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone
We'll keep going until we can't anymore.

We are wild and untamed things
All of us are free-spirited rebels.

Frankenfurter it's all over
Frankenfurter's time has come to an end.

Your mission is a failure, your lifestyle's too extreme
His goals or agenda has not been successful and his way of life is too radical.

I'm your new commander, you now are my prisoner
I am now in charge and he is under my control.

We return to Transylvania, prepare the transit beam
We'll head back to my homeland and get ready to leave this place behind.
