Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll make you line up, 'cause I'm imperial
Shapeshifting into what I want, and now I own you all
[PreChorus]
But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground
[Chorus]
Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual
[Verse 2]
I'll make you rise up into my midnight oil
Drink, drink
Wet martini from my paper cup
Going down the rabbit hole
[PreChorus]
But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground
[Chorus]
Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual
[Bridge]
Your equality, your vanity, your relevancy
Sexuality and venomous perversity
Venomous perversity
Venomous perversity
[Chorus]
Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
[Outro]
You're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual
