     Here's "Time Warp"; I'll post "Science Fiction/Double Feature" soon.
(the riff at the beginning is e-f#, with an A chord, over and over until...)

A        A                  B
   It's astounding; time is fleeting

G       D           A                                                B
madness   takes its toll.  But listen closely - not for very much longer -

G           D         A
I've got to - keep control.

                           B       G        D               A
I remember - doing the Time Warp   Drinking   those moments when

                                                   B
the blackness would hit me - and the void would be calling....

F     C      G    D    A
Let's do the Time Warp again!  (x2)

(N.C)                        E                          A
It's just a jump to the left - and then a step to the ri-ight

                             E                         A
With your hands on your hips - you bring your knees in tight

                    D                                 A
But it's the pelvic thrust - that really drives you insa-ane

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords as above)

        A                   B                     G      D           A
It's so dreamy - oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me - no not at all.

                                            B
In another dimension, with voyeuristic inten-tion,

       G      D          A
Well secluded   I'll see all.

                                                B
With a bit of a mind flip - you're into the time slip

G       D                  A
Nothing can ever be the same

                                                     B
You're spaced out on sensation - like you're under sedation!

Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords above)

Well I was tapping down the street just-a having a think

                                       A7           D
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up,

                                 A
it took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes,

   E                  D              A
He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.

Let's do the Time Warp Again (x2)

It's just a jump to the left...

TIME WARP

(I don't really know the words to this ... I've put
in what I think the first verse is, and also the bridge.
Not a clue on the rest.)


E
It's astounding
        F#        E
Time is fleeting
D      A          E
Madness takes its toll
E
But listen closely
                      F#     E
And not for very much longer
D          A        E
I've got to keep control

E
I remember
          F#        E
Doing the time warp
D       A              E
Reaching those moments when
E
The blackness would hit me
                     F#
And a voice would be calling
C     G      D    A    E
Let's do the time warp again

                        B
It's just a jump to the left
                       E
And then a step to the right
                        B
With your hands on your hips
                        E
You bring your knees in tight
                    A
But it's the pelvic thrust
                         E
That really drives you insane
C     G      D    A    E
Let's do the time warp again

E
Well I was walking down the street just having a think
When a ??? of a guy gave me an evil wink
   A
It shook me it took me by surprise
         E
He had a pickup truck
And a devil's eyes
   B                  A
He stared at me and I felt ashamed
E
Time ain't nothing never was again
C     G      D    A    E
Let's do the time warp again
