You've Had Better Days

When you wake up
And you go to your mirror
The pores of your skin
And your eyes more austerer
It’s a long way from
"My aren’t you the foxy one!"
But that was the seventies darling
You’re not twenty-one
You’ve had better days than this one before
Haven’t you
When she back up
To the Dance of the Duchin
You move from the path
Of the grand hoochie-koochin'
But it's a fall
Not a boogie ballroom bunny bop
You couldn't have caught her
Still your mind is a cop
You’ve had better days than this one before
Haven’t you
You can't will yourself to die
Though you try and try and try
You’ll just make your body ill
And you cannot steal a thrill
You may feeeel like it's time
But you'll have to wait in line
Deep regret and lashless eyes
Deeper lows and lower highs
You've had better days than this one before
You've had better days than this one before
You've had better days than this one before
Haven't you?

Because We Are the Sky

I'll tell you one thing I have learned
There's never a good time to be burned
All alone
With your hands pure and soul like silver
And your eyes wide to life's one river
I'll give you one night to rehearse
The melody and the phrasing of the verse
Of the moon
That reflects into your dark cover
Telling you there is just one lover
And you know it's you
And you know it's you
So we ride, because we are the sky
And we are the sky so we ride
I'll take you away from your heart
And we'll glide along like sisters in the dark
To reveal
That our shadow selves are anchored to us
Like the wave of light that shines white through us
And it knows it's you
And it knows it's you
So we ride, because we are the sky
And we are the sky so we ride

It only takes a minute to forget it all
It only takes a minute yeah yeah yeah

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey
Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my
cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.
Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
