marquee moon

i remember how the darkness doubled, i recall lightnin' struck itself, i was listenin', listenin' 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, 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
