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 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 |
|
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 ain't 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 |
