I remember
Ooo how the darkness doubled
I recall
Lightning struck itselfI was listening
Listening to the rain
I was hearing
Hearing something elseLife in the hive puckered up my night,
A kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
Just waitingI 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,
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
HesitatingWell 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 againLife in the hive puckered up my night,
A kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
I ain't waiting nuh ahI remember
How the darkness doubled
I recall
Lightning struck itselfI was listening
Listening to the rain
I was hearing
Hearing something else
