The Ritual

b>I: Progress De La Rake

Start getting ready
It's your night on the town
And you'll be looking like a million dollars
Wanting to impress the ladies

Casual, scruffy, or straight man
Button up, button down, which way
Button up your inhibitions
Wanting to impress the ladies (Overkill)

You're gonna have yourself a night that you'll remember (remember)
That you'll remember with a smile when Monday morning
Comes to wake you with a moan (alone)
Down in the jam you'll be rollin'

Faster than you should be going
Looking for an early warning
Wanting to survey the competition
Peacocks strutting their stuff, it's, all a game it's

Just to bluff you, everybody talking louder,
Trying to psyche the competition (Overkill)
You want to find yourself a woman you'll remember (remember)
That you'll remember with a sign when Monday morning

Comes to wake you with a moan
Stop your dreaming
Your ship could be sinking
You'd better start moving

You can't sit there thinking
The ritual, the ritual, the ritual...
Hello baby, (can I buy you a drink)
Haven't I seen you before (on the cover of a magazine)

Looking so good, (the way you look tonight)
I love to watch you move (oh you've got it just right)
Oh do you wanna dance
I must be dreaming, she moves like an angel

A hidden treasure waiting to be found
Don't go away, we've only met and there's so much
I want to know, and want to say...
Can I take you home, I wanna take you home

II: Euphoria

Your face is soft and sleepy
It's a funny kind of smile
Drowsy with your dreaming
Do you want to stay awhile
Pull the covers close and feel the warmth
Surrounding you (surrounding you)
Your eyes are full of secrets
They mesmerise me so
Won't you tell me what you're thinking
Oh I really want to know
Whisper to me softly in the darkness
Surrounding you (surrounding you)
You're so inviting
Close to me
Like a soft warm eiderdown
Close your eyes again
Let the morning drift away
Be with me in my dreams
Won't you say you want to stay
Pull the covers close and feel the warmth
Surrounding you (surrounding you)
The time is moving slowly
But the day has slipped away
Oh I wish it could be longer
There's so much I want to say
Whisper to you softly in the darkness
Surrounding you (surrounding you)
You're so inviting
Close to me
Like a soft warm eiderdown
I can't believe that I'm in love again
I won't believe that I'm in love again
Can't believe that I'm in love again
I won't believe that I'm in love again
I can't believe that I'm in love again
I won't believe that I'm in love again
I can't believe that I'm.......

III: A Dog With Four Trees

It's the ritual, the ritual, the ritual
You start again
Hello baby (can I buy you a dream)
Didn't I see you before (on the cover of a magazine)
Looking so good (the way you look tonight)
I love to watch you move (oh you get it just right)
Wandering in a state of confusion
Looking for a new illusion
Can't you see you're on a loser (trying to eliminate the rumours)
Joking like a poor comedian
Smiling like a politician
Drowning in a sea of silence (desperate to impress the people)
(Overkill)
You're gonna find yourself alone
And you'll remember (remember)
And you'll remember there's a face
A funny face
A smile that haunts you through the night
Through the night
You're in love
You're in love etc...
