So you can’t see me — no not at all.In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention, well secluded I’ll see all.With a bit of a mind flip — you’re into the time slip, nothing can ever be the sameYou’re spaced out on sensation — like you’re under sedation!Let’s do the Time Warp again!

AWell I was tapping down the street just-a having a think A7 DWhen a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up, Ait took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil’s eyes, E7 D AHe stared at me and I felt a change, time meant nothing, never would again.
