#8 greatest Felice Brothers song - "Marie"

Mark this up to mostly personal taste, I fell in love with the lyric from the start and the Randy Newman swing that accompanies it. It sounded like a hit song, and still does (although the rough presentation that is charming to me, might keep it away from radio dials).
Lyrically, the smart guy playing dumb, is always a big hit for me (and the song was dubbed "best Lyrics of the year" by Awkward World).

They say we ran our course
But i feel like a racing horse
Got a Feeling i will be 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
