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 A 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 ask him how he don't go mad He said, "Look here, junior, don't you be so happy And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad" Life in the hive puckered up my night A 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, get in" Then, the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard Me, I got out again Life in the hive puckered up my night A kiss of death, the embrace of life There I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon I ain't waiting, uh-uh I remember how the darkness doubled I recall, lightning struck itself I was listening, listening to the rain I was hearing, hearing something else
