"The Ritual" lyrics - ERIC STEWART

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
