CANTANTE: David Byrne
TITULO:Strange Ritual
A man sits in a field ? contemplating his crops
in his mind he travels all over the world
Mmm--i see hairstyles
scenes of beauty
scenes that disgust me
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 wearin' 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
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
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
