(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, & ?)
