marquee moon

I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall, lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting
I spoke to a man down at the tracks
And I asked him how he dont go mad
He said 'Look here junior, dont you be so happy
And for Heavens sake, dont you be so sad'
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
Hesitating
Well a Cadillac, it pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me, all they said, 'Get in'
Then the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard
Me, I got out again
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon
I aint waiting
I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall, lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
