The Residents - His Latest Flame lyrics

Some kind old friend came by today And he'd been telling everyone in town Of the love that he had found And Marie's the name of his latest flame He talked and talked and I heard him say That she had the longest, blackest hair The prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marie's the name of his latest flame Though I smiled deep down inside I was hurting I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He walked away but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me That she'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame He said I had the longest, blackest hair Prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marie's the name of his latest flame Yeah, Marie's the name of his latest flame Yeah, Marie's the name of my eternal flame
