So you sit at the top of your head
In a crown that spins and glows
What a climb from the base of your spine
Feeling each vibration grow
Every night there's a passing flight
Leaving contrails in white
But it's gray with the sky in the way
So it doesn't seem too bright
I know you think that you don't believe
That the world is not quite right
But you pray in the ancient way
Like a desperate Canaanite
In your eye there's a little spy
That writes down the things you think
You forget when the paper's wet
You can't see invisible ink
Your energy drives the whole world
Your energy drives the whole world
Your energy drives the whole world
Your energy drives the whole world

It's Fruitcake Weather!

It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
We gotta make the fruitcake
Before Christmas comes to town
Crack those pecans, tiny thunder rolls
Crack those pecans, tiny thunder rolls
Sweet ivory meat mounts in a milk glass bowl
Cherries and citron and ginger and vanilla
Canned pineapple, rinds, flour for a filler
Raisins and butter and eggs and spices
Walnuts 'cause you know that two nuts is twice as nices
The air's gettin' sweet, the old stove's a-glowin'
We got our whiskey from Mr. Ha Ha Jones
Mr. Ha Ha Jones
Look outside, the evening has begun
Look outside, the evening has begun
A mirror's what the window has become
Our tree is blazin' like a Baptist fire
Our tree is blazin' like a Baptist fire
Two drunken kites, we couldn't fly no higher
It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
We gotta make the fruitcakes
Before Christmas comes around

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.
