about

originally intended to be less sousa-esque, this is another children's song for adults. i know crickets can't fly, doris, but it's all just a fantasy anyway. jiminy.....

lyrics

i'm a little cricket
i'm short and i'm loud
you hear me in the silence
and in the crowd
i'm waiting in the bushes
outside your room
staring at your face
while you stare at the moon

you can go there with me
if you really wanna be free

i'm a little cricket
i hop really high
i'll take you with me baby
up to the sky
we'll laugh at all the airplanes
flying around
taking to the air
just to come right back down

it's not that way with we
coz we only wanna be free

i'm a little cricket
i'll tell you again
you may think you're dreaming
but i'm your friend
i've listened to you whisper
late late at night
asking for the moonlight
and stars shiny bright

you can go there with me
if you really wanna be free

about

The Marble Tea image

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. ... more
