about

Written and recorded just days after David Bowie died, and a few of the lyrics were pulled from some of his songs as fragments for me to play with. There's a little video available as well at youtu.be/2HEd4iHFbc8

LYRICS

Don't let me hear you say life's
Taking you nowhere angel
The grass grows green where you cry
And if your present senses
Lead you through past intenses
The future's still standing by

From where your dreams are woven
And all your red hooves cloven
Your wings are still white and wide
But in the center there's a
Bright green reflecting mirror
You stand in front and inside
Uh oh

We’re all looking for the Truth
But we’re all looking through the lenses
Of these flesh vessel eyes
If we would raise our heads
And fly out from our well-made beds
We’d shake off logic, reason and lies

Uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh oh uh oh uh oh

Up every evening when you
Give your complete attention
The loudest voice deep inside
The one behind it
Has another behind it
And they're all waiting their turn to drive
You outside

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.
