Lyrics[]
Kurt:
It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness, takes it's toll
But listen closely
Quinn:
Not for very much longer
Kurt:
I've got to keep control
Finn:
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
Finn und Quinn:
And the void would be calling
New Directions:
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Artie:
It's just a jump to the left
New Directions:
And then a step to the right
Artie:
Put your hands on your hips
New Directions:
And bring your knees in tight
But it's a pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Quinn:
It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy, free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intentions
Well secluded, Oh, I'll see it all
Kurt:
With a bit of a mind flip
Quinn:
You're into the time slip
Kurt:
And nothing can ever be the same
Santana (Quinn in der Episode):
You're spaced out on sensation, ow!
Finn:
Like you're under sedation
New Directions:
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Brittany:
Well, I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
Tina:
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
New Directions:
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Artie:
It's just a jump to the left
New Directions:
And then a step to the right
Artie:
Put your hands on your hips
New Directions:
And bring your knees in tight
But it's a pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Mercedes mit New Directions:
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
Trivia[]
- Der Time Warp ist ein Tanz aus dem Film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Im Film dient er zur Initiierung eines Zeitsprungs. Der Begriff "Warp" bezieht sich dabei auf den aus Science-Fiction-Werken bekannten Warp-Antrieb. Als Partytanz gehörte er in den 1980ern und 1990ern zum Repertoire. Die Tänzer folgen dann den Anweisungen des Sängers.
- Nachdem Ryan Murphy sagte, dass sie tatsächlich Rocky Horror machen werden, fragte Chris Colfer, ob sie den Song nehmen können. Quelle
