LYRICS

There’s a short in the helmet, I see I’m in a cell
And I’m not who I thought, this isn’t going very well
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Like a bee in a bonnet, I’m bouncing off the walls
I was drinking limoncello, now I’m not human at all
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Everything that I thought was real is just pixels in my mind
What’s the point of reality when the real’s so hard to find

There’s a flash on my mind-screen that shows I’m doing time
But I can’t fully fathom the nature of my crime
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Everything that I thought was real is just pixels in my mind
What’s the point of reality when the real’s so hard to find

If I can trace all the footage that’s leaking from my brain
I could conquer my captors and get back home again
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

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. ... more
