(INTRO)
|
|
like Houdini in the river with a lock he couldn't see
|
|
when you think you hit the bottom then you better find the key
|
|
like Custer at the Horn when he turned around and said
|
|
"when you think you fin'lly got 'em, you're just as good as dead"
|
|
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
|
|
it's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
|
|
it's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise
|
|
|
|
like Ponce de Leon speakin' Spanish in the swamp
|
|
"I was lookin' for a fountain, but it's water that I want"
|
|
like Pike at the top and ev'ry other freak
|
|
"I was lookin' for a mountain, I took a little peak"
|
|
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
|
|
it's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
|
|
it's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise
|
|
(ELECTRIC PIANO SOLO)
|
(ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO)
|
|
|
|
like Buddah at the sermon when he didn't say a word
|
|
if you think you hear a flower, it's a flower that you heard
|
|
like da Vinci on the roof with his arm in a sling,
|
|
"A man's got the power, but a bird's got the wing"
|
|
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
|
|
it's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
|
|
it's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise
|
|
|
|
like Vincent Van Gogh when he chopped off his ear,
|
|
"I'd like to give her twenty, but I still gotta hear"
|
|
like Crockett at the wall lookin' back to Tennessee,
|
|
"the livin' costs you plenty, but the dyin's still for free"
|
|
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' wrinkles in your skin
|
|
it's a rockabilly music make you silly in the end
|
|
it's a time warp puttin' circles on your eyes
|
|
it's a rockabilly music that's a blessing in disguise
|
|
(Kazoo Solo w/ whistles, snorts, & ?)
