"ripples & happy birthday alice" lyrics
(originally by Big Thief)
Got one for ya
Some man told me it's all in the ripples
Cast that stone and see how it triples
I've been living on the dimes and nickels
Might that starlight mean something simple
I can see you stuck like a stone in the ground
Burning all the bridges that you found
Adam even told you as he ate the apple down
This is for the body so the flesh can be profound
Following the detonation line
Hoping that I get to you in time to let you know
Darling adorn me, give me a nipple
I can suck like a lake to a trickle
Oh, I mean it honey I ain't fickle
Bite my thigh like a wide-eyed pit bull
That night the moon shone bright on your face
Space
I was always running, you were in it for the chase
Will you want me honey when I up and quit the race?
Following the detonation line
Hoping that I get to you in time to let you go
That's all I got
That's an old, old, old
How old is that?
–to you
Oh, they're trick candles
Some man told me it's all in the ripples
Cast that stone and see how it triples
I've been living on the dimes and nickels
Might that starlight mean something simple
I can see you stuck like a stone in the ground
Burning all the bridges that you found
Adam even told you as he ate the apple down
This is for the body so the flesh can be profound
Following the detonation line
Hoping that I get to you in time to let you know
Darling adorn me, give me a nipple
I can suck like a lake to a trickle
Oh, I mean it honey I ain't fickle
Bite my thigh like a wide-eyed pit bull
That night the moon shone bright on your face
Space
I was always running, you were in it for the chase
Will you want me honey when I up and quit the race?
Following the detonation line
Hoping that I get to you in time to let you go
That's all I got
That's an old, old, old
How old is that?
–to you
Oh, they're trick candles
