Behind the Ritual

Drinking wine, making time in the days gone by
Behind the ritual, making time in the days gone by

In the days gone by, drinking that wine and getting high
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual

In the days gone by, talking all out of my mind
Like a Whirling Dervish in the alley, drinking that wine
Getting high behind the ritual
So high behind the ritual, so high behind the ritual

Making time, talking all out of my mind
Making time, making time in the days gone by
Drinking that wine in the days gone by, days gone by
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
Spin and turning in the alley, spin and turning in the alley
Making time, drinking that wine, way back in time
You find the spiritual, you find the spiritual
Behind the ritual in the days gone by
Making time, talking all out of my mind
Drinking that wine making time in the days gone by
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
Spin and turn, talking that jive all out of our minds
Getting high in the days gone by, drinking that wine
Boogie woogie child in the alley
Drinking wine in the alley, drinking wine in the alley
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
Drinking that wine, talking all out of my mind
Drinking that sweet wine
Drinking that wine, stretching time
In the days gone by, in the days gone by

Talking that jive, drinking that wine in the days gone by
Spin and turning and rhyme in the alley
Drinking that wine, making time, making time
Spin and turn, talking that jive

Making time with Sally, drinking that wine
Drinking wine in the days gone by, behind the ritual

Behind the ritual, behind that spiritual
Out of my mind in the days gone by
Stretching time, stretching time
Drinking that wine in the days gone by
Spin and turning, making up rhymes, talking all out of my mind
In the days gone by, drinking that wine
Getting high behind the ritual

So high in the days gone by

Drinking wine in the alley, drinking that wine
Stretching time in the days gone by, behind the ritual

Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
Drinking that wine, making time, talking all out of my mind
Drinking that wine, making time in the alley
Drinking that wine, making time
