Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show is featured in The Rocky Horror Glee Show, the fifth episode of Season Two. It is sung by the New Directions and features solos from Artie, Brittany, Finn, Kurt, Mercedes, Quinn, Santana (album version), and Tina. The parts that Brad sings are originally Riff Raff in the musical, but in the Glee version, Finn/Brad is singing them instead of Kurt/Riff Raff.
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 with 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 the episode version):
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 with New Directions:
Let's do the Time Warp again
Let's do the Time Warp again
