about

for das schmoops, in anticipation of tempering their anxiety as the move approached. the drummer for a band i was in in high school bore a strange resemblance to the great drummer animal, and said he wanted to play in a groop with me because he thought i looked like alice cooper. well, that was long ago and even though i've moved on from that life, i still haven't caught up on all the missed sleep. there's much to be missed and much to look forward to.

lyrics

buckle up smooth down your hair
we're making a move
no more staring out the window
at the tree neighborhood

you guessed there's a big big world
but you don't even know
you can't imagine ocean or sand
and you don't even know snow

well that's about to change
your little room world disappears
there's a whole new state of things
but it's no new state to fear

and i'll understand
if i find you in the covers
i'll understand
if you're under the bed
i'll understand
if you're hiding in the closet
it's dark and the clothes
smell like inside your head

say good-bye
to danish wedding cookie breakfasts
say good-bye
to long wooden floor
say good-bye
to red bordello hallway
say good-bye say good-bye

say good-bye
to the couch you used to rip apart
say good-bye
to the pantry where you slept
say good-bye
to ceilings high above your head
say good-bye say good-bye

and i'll understand
if i find you in the covers
i'll understand
if you're under the bed
i'll understand
if you're hiding in the closet
it's dark and the clothes
smell like inside your head

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.
