lyrics

I laughed when she told me it was Saturday,
It takes a few minutes for my mind to wake,
The motor boaters oughta be on their way I swear.

Well when I could leave I left and man I raced away,
A grimace outta Grotious won’t save no face,
Adios, te llamo, I’m a momma’s man, oh yeah.

Some guys, think they’re flowing,
Waltzing over patterns that are tattered but barely alive.
Sometimes, it’s worth knowing,
You’re tantalized, by the rhythm of the jive

Well I retreated all defeated ‘cause I needed space,
Seated by the preacher for eating paste,
Wasted what was laced on a trigger trace I swear.

Once around the bay made for a stressful day,
The motor boaters floated me home to stay,
Picked up like a pup and holed to howl away,
It’s the rhythm of the day

Some guys think their flowing
(whistle)
Sometimes it’s worth knowing
You’re tantalized, by the rhythm of the jive.

Some guys, think they’re flowing,
Waltzing over patterns that are tattered but barely alive.
Sometimes it’s worth knowing,
You’re tantalized, by the rhythm of the jive

Once around the bay made for a stressful day,
The motor boaters floated me home to stay,
Picked up like a pup and holed to howl away,
It’s the rhythm of the day.

about

The Ripples image

The Ripples Washington, D.C.

Founded in 2013, The Ripples are a post-modern band that takes influence from 60s pop music, but doesn’t shy away from dipping their feet in the blues. They love playing covers and jams to excite a bar crowd and generate a great late-night pulse, but their main passion is working with their original music until all the grooves and changes sound just right. ... more
