Rocky Horror Heartbreak Songs

In honor of Halloween, I rewrite a couple of Rocky Horror Picture show classics, The Time Warp and Touch A Touch A Touch Me.

 

Let me know how I did.

 

The Time Warp-rewrite

 

It's astonding

How fast this romance is fleeting

Bittterness is taking its toll

You pull me closer

But not for very much longer

 

Cause our love has grown

Out of control

No good times left to remember

We're trapped in a time warp

You spend all your moments

Endlessly drinking

In the blackness you betray me

And now my bags are packed

Finally to be leaving

 

Cause I can't do the time warp again

I can't do the time warp again

There's nothing left of us left

Step back, now

Get your hands off my hips

 

You smother me in

Just too tight

Broken trust

It's really driven me insane

And so....

I can't do the time warp again

I can't do the time warp again

 

Whatever happened to my Mr. Dreamy?

Oh, please just free me

No you'll never understand

No, not at all

So far apart

You're in another dimension

With wicked intention

The truth is no longer secluded

I've seen all

 

Made my mind flip

Now my emotions are taking a dip

And nothing will ever be the same

 

Cause you've a spaced out sensation

Living your life under too heavy a sedation

 

No, I can't do the time warp again

I can't do the time warp again

 

It's been Hell walking down your street

Loving a snake of a guy

With an evil wink

Picked me up in your truck

OOh you had the devil's eyes

After all that's been

Between you and me

I've felt the change

Now love don't mean nothing

And it never will again

 

Chorus

 

No, I can't do the time warp again

No, no, I can't do the time warp again

Don't Touch A Touch A Touch Me

 

I'm feelin' we're done in

Useless

We can't win

Never felt so defeated before

 

You mean we?

Uh huh

 

I know it's no use getting

Into any more heavy romancing

It'll only lead to trouble and backstabbing

Now, all I know is we gotta let go

There's been too much blood

I want no more

 

No more more more!

 

Please put up no resistance

Just keep your distance

I've got no itch

You need to scratch

I need none of your assistance

So, oh

Don't touch a touch a touch me

It only makes me feel dirty

You don't thrill me

Just chill me

You don't fulfill me

Just leave me

Creature of the night

 

Love no more grows

Why keep up this silly pose?

I'll tell you up

And I'll tell you down

 

Down, down, down!

 

We're holding onto

Only the smallest fraction

Of our old main attraction

 

C'mon

Make a break, man

Take the right action

 

Chorus

 

Creature of the night

Creature of the night

Creature of the night

Creature of the night

Creature of the night

Creature of the night

You know together we're just not right

Creature of the night
