Ripple

Tiny baby, so naive
I can't believe what you believe
You were once so happy here
It may not be Eden or summer in Greece
You may not even find the Golden Fleece
In the drag of this atmosphere
Now I don't want to bring up a delicate matter
No I'd much rather bribe or flatter you
Cause flattery gets me everywhere
But you punctured my tires, you crossed all my wires
I brand your acolytes as a pack of liars
And the fire's singing everywhere

Ripple
Buckle like a wreck in the cold green sea
Ripple
Like you were a ripple in my memory

I lent you some collateral to buy new clothes
It went out the window and up your nose
And that's the end of the honeymoon
Yeah we walked down the aisle for another mile
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles
And you can have all the money soon

Ripple
Buckle like a wreck in the cold green sea
Ripple
Like you were a ripple in my memory

You're so deluxe, you're so divine
You're so fifty light years ahead of the time
You're a riddle, you're a ripple
You're a human sacrifice to the goddess of ice
Your hairdo was spun of diamonds and lice
And you're hardly off the nipple

Ripple
Buckle like a wreck in the cold green sea
Ripple
Like you were a ripple in my memory

Ripple
Another little glitch in continuity
Ripple
Like you were a ripple in my memory
