Speedy Marie Lyrics

The song Speedy Marie is performed by Frank Black in the album named Teenager of the Year in the year 1994 .

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

Frank Black - Teenager of the Year

May 1994
