"Marie" Lyrics

Over the past couple months The Felice Brothers have been performing a song that has many fans buzzing. "Marie" was written by Ian Felice, who was reluctant to play the song unless others in the band took a verse. It's a masterpiece, maybe the best he's written, and i hope soon makes it on an official release. The first verse is sung by James Felice, the second by Greg Farley, the third by Ian Felice. The final verse sees James return to shut the door on this classic. The melody is very reminiscent of Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty". It doesn't get much better than that.

MARIE

They say we ran our course
But i feel like a racing horse
Got a Feeling i will running all my life
Oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
Give me one more night

I thought i was smart enough
I read Moby Dick and stuff
I guess i ain't smart enough for you
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night

You say you don't wanna dance
till i wash my hands
but my hands aren't as dirty as my mind
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night

They say this song's in "G"
but i don't give a shit
i wrote this song in the key of love
oh, all i'm asking you Marie
is spend one more fare on me
give me one more night
