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
