Styx — Love Is the Ritual StyxWorld Live 2001

Love is the ritual Hey, little sister, she's got a lot of time She's got a lot of money Don't you know that ain't enough? Hey, pretty thing, all dressed up For the main attraction Like a baby doll looking for love And she doesn't need a reason She just hears a calling to the wild, hey, yeah God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong, to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk and talk and laugh and cry Work your fingers to the bone till the day you die And above it all, love is the ritual (the ritual) Hey, little man, beatin' his chest And flexing his muscles Gun for hire, he shoots for a star Hey, like a handsome prince Walkin' down the street in his shinin' armor Romeo in search of his heart There's a method to this madness And a message callin' to the wild, hey, huhh God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong, to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk and talk and laugh and cry Give your heart and soul till the day you die And above it all, love is the ritual (the ritual) Come on dance, little sister Little sister wants to dance All night looking for true romance When in a black leather jacket walks little brother To rock her world, to be her lover So, signal all the children Send a message calling to the wild, hey God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong, to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual So you walk and talk and laugh and cry Work your fingers to the bone till the day you die And above it all, love is the ritual (Love is the ritual) Love is the ritual (Love is the ritual) Love is the ritual (Love is the ritual) Love is the ritual (Love is the ritual) Love is the ritual
