Frank Black — Speedy Marie lyrics

Lyrics

Had a bit part
An endless reel
It always played in slo-mo
But now itЂ™s fast
A spinning wheel
I know the dynamo
My heart
Is cast
Speedy marie
Ahead of the now
SheЂ™s better built thatЂ™s how
SheЂ™s built for speed
Speedy marie
Speedy marie
Oh, yes indeed
I said to me And so I sing this romaunt
ItЂ™s not enough
My liberty
There is a thing I want
I need
I love
Speedy marie
Ahead of the now
SheЂ™s better built thatЂ™s how
SheЂ™s built for speed
Speedy marie
Speedy marie
Juxtaposed in each momentЂ™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
