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 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



Buckle like a wreck on the cold green sea

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



You'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 nipple



Another little glitch in continuity

Like you were a ripple in my memory
