A man sits in a field ? contemplating his crops
In his mind he travels all over the worldMmm, 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 unusualSaw 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 furnitureI saw hairstyles
Meanwhile
There's a strange ritual
Got a strange ritual, it's wearin' me downSaw 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 hoursHe's lost in love
He's lost in love
All hope is goneA 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 nameYeah, 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 ritualHe 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
