It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...
Magenta
Not for very much longer.
RiffRaff
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me
Magenta
And the void would be calling...
Transylvanians
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Narrator
It's just a jump to the left.
All
And then a step to the right.
Narrator
Put your hands on your hips.
All
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.
Magenta
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.
RiffRaff
With a bit of a mind flip
Magenta
You're into the time slip
RiffRaff
And nothing can ever be the same.
Magenta
You're spaced out on sensation.
RiffRaff
Like you're under sedation.
All
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Columbia
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.
All
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are
Brad and Janet
There's a light
Chorus
Over at the Frankenstein place
Brad and Janet
There's a light
Chorus
Burning in the fireplace
Brad and Janet
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life
Riff Raff
The darkness must go
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life
Brad and Janet
There's a light
Chorus
Over at the Frankenstein place
Brad and Janet
There's a light

Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, a light

In the darkness of everybody's life
from
The Nightmare before Christmas
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known
I'm the master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears
