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 gold fleece
In the drag of this atmosphereNow 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 everywhereBuckle like a wreck on the cold green sea
Like you were a ripple in my memoryI 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 soonBuckle like a wreck on the cold green sea
Like you were a ripple in my memoryYou're so deluxe, you're so divine
You're so fifty light years ahead of your time
You're a riddle, you're a ripple
You're the human sacrifice to the goddess of ice
Your hairdo is filled with diamonds and lice
And you're hardly off the nippleBuckle like a wreck on the cold green sea
Like you were a ripple in my memory
Another little glitch in continuity
Like you were a ripple in my memory
