about

What a drag it is getting old.

lyrics

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?

about

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.
