i have never been hunting can't shoot a bird or a deer don't see why that's such a fun thing that's one thing that's never been clear (survival's another matter) i used to go fishing but i threw 'em all back in don't want to wreck their home life or ruffle the hair on their fin (you can't look in their eyes and not) hey hey little squirrelly running out in front of my car i'd rather hit the president than roll you into the tar (i said it and i meant it) i touched a leaf upon a fern i felt the fern react the fern seemed to care.... i'm not wild about spiders don't like 'em creeping around christina says when they're inside they're tresspassing, let's take 'em down (still i hate to do it to them)

we're staying out of camden we're heading down to medford we're looking for a quiet place where we can hide away if someone wants to find us well tell them nevermind us we know they're looking hard for us in every little town we stop into a thrift store make sure it has a backdoor it's good it's great it's everything that we could ever want from ashtrays to bell-bottoms just look and yeah they got 'em and cosmos by carl sagan is a universal thing she looks good in that jacket and i'm all buddy hackett so i am pleased to find a crate of vinyl in the back and terra cotta warriors on postcards sent to lawyers with cryptic notes inscribed in faded ink upon the back she's into umbrellas and bald bespectacled fellas but wearing wigs is fun it makes you feel like hercules and when at last we leave here lancelot and guinevere we armed enough with stuff to make our own sweet camelot

She said, "I wish it would snow all winter long Because I need something fun to tickle my little tongue. Oh, flurries are fine: dusting my face and glitter my hair, But they're infrequent, just like my lovers, And I'd rather just stay in bed...." She said, "I wish I could do whatever it is that you do." Well, this forced him to laugh and re-evaluate everything. "No, don't wear my shoes: I'm always tripping and stumbling about. And even though they look like they fit Well, they're really far too big...." I never understood selective generosity And why does the shame of the past Govern my thoughts like a fog? She said, "I'm waiting for you down by the dock, And I'm tempted to throw myself in to see what Shelley saw." Are kind words enough for someone whose head may burst into flames? And in her diary the words are all true But it never seems the same: I never understood selective generosity And why does the shame of the past Govern my thoughts like a fog?

Anything that makes a memory Is worth going through. Doo doo doo.

I dreamed I was talking on the telephone With Amy Poehler As she ate her kung pao chicken At 4 am, but I had to go 'Cause my hand was catching fire again Like it always does Could she dream she's on the telephone With a stranger As her chopsticks work like wooden fingers At 4 am, but he has to go As he screams "Not this again, Oh God, please God no!" Who's been in your dreams Can you name them all Who's been in your dreams Can you name them all

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.
