Van Morrison Behind The Ritual
			
Drinking wine in the alley, drinking wine in the alley 
Making time, drinking that wine 
Out of my mind in the days gone by 
Making time with Sally, drinking that wine 
In the days gone by, talking all out of my mind 
Drinking that wine, talking all out of my mind 
Spin and turning in the alley, spin and turning in the 
alley 
Like a Whirling Dervish in the alley, drinking that 
wine 
Drinking wine, making time in the days gone by 
Boogie woogie child in the alley 
Drinking that wine, making time, talking all out of my 
mind 
Drinking wine in the days gone by, behind the ritual 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual 
In the days gone by, drinking that wine 
Making time, drinking that wine, way back in time 
Spin and turning and rhyme in the alley 
Spin and turning, making up rhymes, talking all out of 
my mind 
Talking that jive, drinking that wine in the days gone 
by 
Drinking wine in the alley, drinking that wine 
Making time, talking all out of my mind 
Drinking that wine, making time in the alley 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual 
You find the spiritual, you find the spiritual 
Behind the ritual in the days gone by 
Drinking wine in the alley, drinking wine in the alley 
Making time, talking all out of my mind 
Drinking that wine in the days gone by, days gone by 
Spin and turn, talking that jive 
Spin and turn, talking that jive all out of our minds 
Drinking that sweet wine 
Making time, making time in the days gone by 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual 
Drinking that wine making time in the days gone by 
Behind the ritual, making time in the days gone by 
In the days gone by, in the days gone by 
Drinking that wine, making time 
Getting high in the days gone by, drinking that wine 
Getting high behind the ritual 
Getting high behind the ritual 
Drinking that wine in the days gone by 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual 
Behind the ritual, behind that spiritual 
In the days gone by, drinking that wine and getting 
high 
So high behind the ritual, so high behind the ritual 
So high in the days gone by 
Drinking that wine, making time, making time 
Stretching time, stretching time 
Drinking that wine, stretching time 
Stretching time in the days gone by, behind the ritual 
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
