about

Because things just kind of go like that.

lyrics

When I said
What's your name
I didn't mean your real name
I meant the name your lover called you
When you were standing in the kitchen
Cooking rice and vegetables
With a cat rubbing your ankle
And you were trying hard
Not to laugh
At his mispronunciation
Of the French word 'denouement'
But now he does it all on purpose

And the trees
Are so much barer now
Than they were in the fall

Yes the trees
Are so much barer now
Than they were in the fall

And I wonder what this feeling's called
I wonder what this feeling's called
And I wonder what you're called
When there's no one around

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
