Ritual

by Icona Pop

Lyrics
You had to save your skin, so I had to shed mine
I put my hair up, tears are droppin' deep down to the ground
Letting it cleanse me just like water, starin' at the sun
This is my ritual, yeah, I do it to survive

[Daya]
I went to a medicine man in New York City
It was hot outside
He said, "Girl, your body is frozen"
He said, "Do you wanna live inside your body?"

You need heat, warmth, touch
You gotta dance your ass off
You got an inner Ferrari

You need to drive
You need to drive

I see my new visual
I let it surround me
Yeah, I let it turn me on
That's my inner Ferrari

Can my heart break into a new shape?
Kinda like an earthquake
I feel my heart race
Carve you out to put me in
I like the pain, I know it
Will I ever learn how? Can I ever learn how? Yeah

You had to save your skin, so I had to shed mine
I put my hair up, tears are droppin' deep down to the ground

Letting it cleanse me just like water, starin' at the sun
This is my ritual, yeah, I do it to survive

You need heat, warmth, touch
You gotta dance your ass off (off)
You need heat, warmth, touch
You gotta dance your ass off (off)

Can my heart break into a new shape?
Kinda like an earthquake
I feel my heart race
Carve you out to put me in
I like the pain, I know it
Will I ever learn how? Can I ever learn how? Yeah

You had to save your skin, so I had to shed mine
I put my hair up, tears are droppin' deep down to the ground

Letting it cleanse me just like water, starin' at the sun
This is my ritual, yeah, I do it to survive
