Old Queen:
Do You Construe What's Overdue
Not To You
But You Know Who?
Guards:
Love And Respect
Old Queen:
What???!!!
Guards:
Love And Respect
Old Queen:
So, Why Don't We Pause And Reflect, On ...
Transylvanian Courtiers:
Love And Respect
Old Queen:
And The Possible Cause And Effect, Of ...
Transylvanian Courtiers:
Love And Respect
Old Queen:
Yeah!
Vengeance Is Mine
The Offences Are Thine
Suffer The Evil Doer To Come Unto Me
There's Going To Be Weeping, Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth
Bleating And Railing And Lashings Of Grief
A Lot Of Good Guys Have Died When They Lied In My Face
There's Going To Be Lying, Crying And Penitent Pleas
Sighting, Dying Bent On Your Knees
And You're Going To Find There Ain't No Hiding Place
A small scene cuts off the song here while an instrumentals play in the background. Sonny, Ray, Steve, Judy, and Lord De Lordy use the transducer to warp to Denton and find Janet in the hotel bathroom.
Ray's Group:
You're going to find there ain't no hiding place
Janet Weiss (spoken):
(screaming/yelling)
Ray (spoken)
Not you ma'am, we have every respect for a lady on the john. Sonny, draw the shower curtain.
Yahoo!
Excuse us, ma'am, we are going to take a little trip down memory lane. Bye bye now.
Steve (spoken):
I'm sure that woman is Janet Weiss.
Sonny (spoken)
Slut.
Steve (spoken)
My brother Brad's fiancée.
Sonny (spoken)
Asshole.
Judy (spoken)
I think perhaps you're right, Steve.
Sonny (spoken)
Where exactly is it that we're going, Pop?
Ray (spoken)
Into the past.
Janet (spoken)
Brad??? Brad??? Frank 'N' Furter??? It's me, Janet - It's me. ME!!!
(This is the start of another small scene between Mary Lou, The Old Queen, and the Transylvanian guards in Ray's executive bathroom.)
ALL:
The sentence is doom
Commencement is soon
Old Queen:
The rougher we heave in the skewer the more fun it'll be
All
You're going to be swearing care
And cheating your best tearing hair
And beating your breast
Old Queen:
Would that you'd tried suicide
Not this misguided chase
(The view is now on Riff Raff, in Denton 15 years ago)
Riff Raff:
There's going to be danger weighed and
People to stop changed made with me
At the top- And-
(Back to Ray's executive bathroom. Same people as before.)
ALL:
You're going to find
There ain't no hiding place
Old Queen (spoken):
Where the hell is everybody, sister?
Mary Lou (spoken):
Why, you all just missed them. They all took off for Denton.
Old Queen (spoken):
Denton!! My boy, my Frankie used to send me postcards from a place called Denton. Let's go.
Mary Lou (spoken):
Hey! Wait!
Can I come with you?
Old Queen:
I'll concede, oh yes indeed
If you can feed me what I need
Mary Lou:
Love and Respect
Old Queen:
What!!
Mary Lou:
(Louder) Love and respect
Old Queen:
When push comes to shove I expect
ALL:
Love and respect
Old Queen:
What must you never neglect?
ALL:
Love and respect
Old Queen (spoken):
Okay. Let's go.
(The scene cuts back to Frank's castle in Denton, 15 years in the past. Every character mentioned is now united.)
ALL:
Time after time
And time before time
There's too much time to fill
Riff Raff:
Time out of mind
This time you'll find
There's always time to kill
Old Queen:
You can race through time
You can chase through space
But the time has finally come...
ALL:
When there ain't no hiding place
Janet:
Give me love and respect
Riff Raff:
Got to change the past
There's no time like the present
Re-arrange it fast
And tell it like it isn't
Ray, Sonny, Steve, Judy, De Lordy:
Trying to erase
A time of disgrace
This time you'll find
ALL/ENTIRE COMPANY:
There ain't no hiding place
Old Queen:
Give me love and respect
