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
