about

this is kind of a children's/sunday school song for adults. goofy and true. it's a reminder, i think, of the importance of simplicity, while still acknowledging the bigger, more complex stuff. ya gots ta own it, baby, and so i does....

lyrics

whenever i feel down
and i think i might cry
i just turn off the tv
and look to the sky
and i see, high above the trees
clouds and birds or stars twinkling
if it's night

whenever i feel bad
'cause i mucked something up
i just take me on outside
and that lifts me up
'cause it's true, it's quite a view
our mother earth and our father
up high in the sky

you can't tell me
i don't know what it's like
i've been blue before
but not tonight

whenever i feel tired
and my room's all a mess
i just take off my shoes
and give it a rest
for a while, and it makes me smile
being the king of my own little mess
little room

whenever i feel sick
and i want to get out
i just splash in the bathtub
as if there's a doubt you could be
too unhappy
naked and wet
with a small rubber duck
floating by

you can't tell me
i don't know what it's like
i've been blue before
but not tonight

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
