[Intro]
[Female Vocal]
[Soft]
[Breathy]
[Muttered, breathless realization — close to the mic]:
Extraordinary lady...She knows... she knows everything.

[Verse 1]
Rita is a mystic... she holds the key
To the universe, and all we see
She’s been here before, she’s been everywhere
Looking for the truth in the open air
Look into her eyes, but you cannot hide
Your soul has nowhere left to run or slide
She sees right through this modern world, so cold
Back to when the Earth, was whole (so whole)

[Chorus]
Oh, Rita (Rita)
Ancient light in a simple frame
Oh, Rita (Rita)
Knowing secrets without a name
She’s watching all the empires, tumble down
The quietest spirit in this dusty town

[Verse 2]
Her mind is like the desert sand
Shifting through the ages in the palm of her hand
Carrying the weight, of history
Written on no pages, just a mystery
Just a simple woman, standing there
Older than the town, with a hollow stare
Watching it all... watching it all
(Whisper: the empires fall)

[Bridge]
She knows the rhythm of the rising tide
She knows the places where the shadows hide
No clock can measure what she’s seen
She’s the space, she’s the in-between

[Chorus]
Oh, Rita (Rita)
Ancient light in a simple frame
Oh, Rita (Rita)
Knowing secrets without a name
She’s watching all the empires, tumble down
The quietest spirit in this dusty town

[Outro]
She is the key... (she is the key)
Rita is the key
(Fade out)
[Soft]
[Breathy]
