Time Warp
The Chipmunks Lyrics

It's astounding
The situation is surprising or amazing

Time is fleeting
Time passes quickly

Madness takes its toll
Going crazy can have negative consequences

But listen closely
Pay attention and be alert

(Oh, not for very much longer)
The artist's time is limited

I've got to keep control
The singer needs to maintain composure and stay in charge

I remember doing the time-warp
The singer recalls participating in some unusual activity

Drinking those moments when
Enjoying specific experiences or sensations

The Blackness would hit me
The artist became disoriented or lost in darkness

And the void would be calling
Feeling a sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment in life

Let's do the time-warp again
Encouraging people to participate in the activity again

It's just a jump to the left
A simple maneuver to the left side

And then a step to the right
Another simple maneuver to the right side

Put your hands on your hips
Place your hands on your hip area

You bring your knees in tight
Tighten the muscles in your legs by pulling your knees inward

But it's the pelvic thrust
A specific bodily movement that is important in this activity

That really drives you insane
The pelvic thrust causes a feeling of excitement or craziness in the participant

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
The experience is surreal and can transport the participant away from reality

So you can't see me,
The participant is hidden from view

No, not at all
The participant is completely invisible

In another dimension
The participant is in a different reality or plane of existence

With voyeuristic intention
The participant is watching others with a specific purpose

Well secluded, I see all
The participant is alone but can observe everything

With a bit of a mind flip
A sudden change in thinking or perception

You're into the time slip
Participating in the activity causes the feeling of traveling through time

And nothing can ever be the same
The experience is life-changing and can never be undone

You're spaced out on sensation
Feeling overwhelmed by the sensations of the activity

Like you're under sedation
Feeling drugged or sedated by the experience

Well I was walking down the street
The artist was casually walking outside

Just a-having a think
The singer was lost in thought or daydreaming

When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
An ominous or suspicious man made eye contact with the singer

He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
The man startled the artist and caused a reaction

He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
The man had a specific type of vehicle and a sinister expression

He stared at me and I felt a change
The man's gaze caused a shift in the artist's feelings or thoughts

Time meant nothing, never would again
The experience caused the singer to feel that time was insignificant and had lost its importance
