Marquee Moon Lyrics
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 the 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
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon
...Hesitating
Well the Cadillac, it pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me, all they said, "Get in, get in!"
Then the Cadillac, they put back into the graveyard
And 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, nuh huh
I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
