Ripples Lyrics

Buy yourself a record 'cause you've got nothing else to spend your money on

You don't know what to do with your time

Gazing at the damage that we did to ourselves

Companies connected 'cause we've got nothing else to lose

On this quiet sea, river or creek

Where the alligators swim 'till we sleep

Above the nose under the surface

There's no one who will bother

'Cause we're just ripples on the water

And there's enough for everyone

Who heard the words on the news

They've got a voice that they use

To bide their time

Sitting outside with a cigarette 'cause the walls creep up on me

A truth that is yours is what matters the most, for a body's bound to a screen

On this quiet sea, river or creek

Where the alligators swim 'till we sleep

Above the nose under the surface

There's no one who will bother

On this quiet sea, river or creek

Where the alligators swim 'till we sleep

Above the nose under the surface

There's no one who will bother

And in some way it makes me long for those wooden blinds

The break of day in your blue eyes

The smell of your perfume still in the room

And I was never gonna leave you
