Speedy Marie Lyrics - Frank Black

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 intricates, 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
