about

Did you ever have one of those lives where it seems like you're able to do some good stuff, but it's rare that you approach anything stellar?

lyrics

You had a revelation
An internal conversation
Asking why things fall apart
And every time it breaks your heart

Hey, what ya doing Jim
Will you sink or will you swim
While you sit wallowing
The world waits to be swallowing

And it feels like you're good
Yes you're good
But you're not good enough
Feels like you're good
Yes you're good
But you're not good enough

You feel so far away
From any bright sun ray
You search the sea and slope
For someone to give you hope
But it's never gonna happen
'Cause it's all down to you

You had a revelation
Standing in the railway station
Everybody gets on board
But you don't call that going forward

Hey, what ya doing Jim
Why don't you just be like them
Funny how that manifested
In a life that's so congested

And it feels like you're good
Yes you're good
But you're not good enough
Feels like you're good
Yes you're good
But you're not good enough...

Sorry.

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.
