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 burned 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 vice   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
