lyrics

I was standing outside of the Mercury Lounge
Having a smoke with my good friend Mau
Looking at all the people go wandering by
Past the cars and the buildings and under the sky

Somebody better do something
Somebody better do something

If it isn't you then it has to be me
Designate what the picture is we see

There's a hat and a dress and a coat or two
Patent leather becomes an angled shoe
There are scars on the body and psyche too
As a movie walks by just out of view

Somebody better get it down
Somebody better get it down

It's enough to stand by and watch it go
Or we could make a leap and join the show

[Repeat First Verse]

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.
