about

Memories are a thing of the past!

lyrics

There's dust upon my memory
But you blew it off when we sat down to talk
Every ringing tone from your voice
Opened up a door that I'd forgot

Gone so long
Gone so long

In secret forts by railroad tracks
We'd light a fire and wait for bells to ring
Signaling the changing of the subjects
And the stoning of the kings

Everybody knew that this was never meant to last
Everybody knew
Except for you

There're fickle creeks and battered cheeks
That never end their never-ending taunts
There're faces that remained and places
That we named our favorite haunts

Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long
Gone so long

And I never never never never never said
I never never never never never said
I never never never never never said
This is where we belong

Time has been a blinking eye
That winks and stares and sometimes falls asleep
The best that we have done is never catalogued
It wasn't made to keep

Everybody knew that this was never meant to last
Everybody knew
Except for you

Gone so long
Gone so long

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.
