Speedy Marie Lyrics by Frank Black

Speedy Marie Lyrics

    Had a bit part
    An endless reel
    It always played in slo-mo
    But now it's fast
    A spinning wheel
    I know the dynamo
    My heart
    Is cast

    Speedy marie
    Ahead of the now
    She's better built that's how
    She's built for speed
    Speedy marie
    Speedy marie

    Oh, yes indeed
    I said to me
    And so i sing this romaunt
    It's not enough
    My liberty
    There is a thing i want
    I need
    I love

    Speedy marie
    Ahead of the now
    She's better built that's how
    She's built for speed
    Speedy marie
    Speedy marie

    Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
    Everything that i ever saw
    And my one delight
    Nothing can strike me in such awe
    Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks
    Always it will soothe
    Rarer none are the precious cheeks
    Is the size of each sculpted tooth
    Each lip and each eye

    Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought
    And softest neck where always do i
    Lay my clumsy thoughts
    She is that most lovely art
    Happy are my mind and my soul and my heart
