Ritual – Solitary Man lyrics

Tumble and fall as you hear my ritual call: let me speak of cosmic grandeur. Tell me your dreams when they've all gone to extremes - it will pass for sane behaviour. You've seen me before, you will see me even more; now it's time for rearranging. I wear no disguise but my costume will surprise: it's alive and ever changing. Solitary man, I know there's more to life than you can see. Solitary man, you're lost in everything that counts to me.

You're in for a laugh as I show you your path: crooked and narrow-minded. My ways are contrary and strange, I am mad and out of range and this has always kept you blinded. But from now and hereafter you're learning through laughter - tricked into understanding. I'm the Divine Trickster: irreverence in a mixture with sacredness outstanding. Solitary man, I know there's more to life than you've been told. Refused to lose control but still you can't control the force you hold.

Solitary man - rise and shine Solitary man - ask away
You'll tumble and fall as you suddenly recall your self as cosmic grandeur, laugh at your dreams when they've all gone to extremes and it'll pass for sane behaviour. I have seen you before and I'll see you even more: you may need a rearranger. Untamed is my face, you can hardly trace my ways, I'm the Illogical Redeemer. Solitary man, you're stagnant in the flux of everything. Solitary man ha ha it's showtime in the shape of things!
Solitary man - take a walk Solitary man - come on! Solitary man - rise and shine Solitary man - you need me Solitary man - hit the road Solitary man - bake a cake
