FRANK BLACK - Speedy Marie lyrics

rate me

Had a bit part<br>An endless reel<br>It always played in slo-mo<br>But now it's fast<br>A spinning wheel<br>I know the dynamo<br>My heart<br>Is cast<br><br>Speedy marie<br>Ahead of the now<br>She's better built that's how<br>She's built for speed<br>Speedy marie<br>Speedy marie<br><br>Oh, yes indeed<br>I said to me<br>And so I sing this romaunt<br>It's not enough<br>My liberty<br>There is a thing I want<br>I need<br>I love<br><br>Speedy marie<br>Ahead of the now<br>She's better built that's how<br>She's built for speed<br>Speedy marie<br>Speedy marie<br><br>Juxtaposed in each moment's sight<br>Everything that I ever saw<br>And my one delight<br>Nothing can strike me in such awe<br>Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks<br>Always it will soothe<br>Rarer none are the precious cheeks<br>Is the size of each sculpted tooth<br>Each lip and each eye<br><br>Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought<br>And softest neck where always do i<br>Lay my clumsy thoughts<br>She is that most lovely art<br>Happy are my mind and my soul and my heart
