musical calendar 2018: 6th week: Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time warp

in music •  7 years ago 

In Germany carnival (which in Germany is called Karneval, Fastnacht or Fasching (depending on the region you are in Germany)) begins on the 11th of previous november but the higlight is the week before ash Wednesday. So my song of the 6th week in 2018 is from a movie / musical I associate with carnival. It is:

A few years ago I watched it in the "Schauburg" - a cinema in Karlsruhe. It's tradition in this cinema to play the Rocky horror picture show on rosemonday. And it's also tradition the audience is throwing toilette paper at each other at the moment of the time warp song in the musical.

So my song of the 6th week in my musical calendar 2018 is:

Rocky Horror Picture Show
Time Warp

Lyrics:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
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

And the void would be calling...

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 into 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-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.

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.

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
