the watch of time

As Halloween approaches the end of next week, it’s worth remembering that this time of year marks the 40^th anniversary of the initial release of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, widely considered the most popular cult classic film.

There were many memorable songs; here is an excerpt of probably the best known…

It’s astounding. Time is fleeting.

Madness takes its toll.

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I’ve got to keep control.

I remember doing the Time Warp

Drinking those moments when

The blackness would hit me.

And the void would be calling.

Let’s do the Time Warp again.

Let’s do the Time Warp again.

From TIME WARP, written by Richard O’Brien (who played the character Riff Raff)
