Strange Ritual |
| A man sits in a field — contemplating his crops |
| In his mind he travels all over the world |
| I see hairstyles, strange rituals |
| Scenes of beauty, scenes that disgust me |
| I see, I see me |
| I felt awe, felt disgust |
| I felt bliss, I felt lust |
| It’s — not unusual |
| Saw people in a remote village |
| Proudly wearing their — digital watches |
| Saw a young Indonesian girl |
| Possessed by the spirit of Mutant Ninja Turtles |
| Saw palatial estates, with crumbling decorations |
| And human furniture |
| I saw hairstyles, meanwhile |
| There’s a strange ritual |
| Got a strange ritual, it’s wearing me down |
| Saw a skyscraper made out of abandoned car parts |
| Saw a legislature of women |
| Courted by corporate lobbyists |
| Saw body parts made out of precious gems |
| And rare metals, saw a man on a barstool |
| Who hadn’t moved — in 32 hours |
| He’s lost in love |
| He’s lost in love |
| All hope is gone |
| A French corporation that doesn’t make anything |
| An ambulance driver — wakes up in a Dairy Queen |
| A town in which even the people who live there |
| Can’t remember it’s name |
| Yeah, I see |
| Yeah, I see — I see what you mean |
| Yeah, I saw hairstyles |
| Meanwhile |
| There’s a strange ritual |
| He’s got a strange ritual |
| He keeps to himself |
| Mmm — got a strange ritual |
| He keeps to himself |
| «Excuse me, sir, excuse me, sir |
| You can’t stand there |
| You can’t stand there» |
| Excuse me, sir (excuse me, sir) |
| Excuse me, sir (excuse me, sir) |
| You can’t stand there (you can’t stand there) |
| You can’t stand there (you can’t stand there) |
| I saw things |
| Things out in the fields |
| I saw things |
| Things out in the fields |
| And I look at myself |
| What do I know? |
| (I saw things come into my room) |
| I saw things come into my room |
| It’s not unusual |
| I saw hairstyles |
| Meanwhile |
| There’s a strange ritual |
| Got a strange ritual |
| He keeps to himself |
| Yeah, we got a strange ritual |
| We keep to ourselves |
| He’s lost in love |
| He’s lost in love |
| All hope is gone |
| All hope is gone |
| All hands on deck |
| All hands on deck |
| He’s lost in love |
| He’s lost in love |
| We’re lost in love |
| We’re lost in love |
| All hope is gone |
| All hope is gone |
| We’ve got a strange ritual |
| We keep to ourselves |
| We’ve got a strange ritual |
| We keep to ourselves |
| Keep, keep, keep … |
| We’ve got a strange ritual |
| We keep to ourselves |
| We’re lost in love |
| We’re lost in love |
| We’re lost in love |
| We’re lost in love … |
