I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
ย
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
ย
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"
ย
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the Marquee moon
Hesitating
ย
Well, a Cadillac, it pulled out of the graveyard
ย
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
ย
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, a-a
I remember how the darkness doubled
ย
I recall lightning struck itself
ย
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
