Marquee Moon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember Ooh, how the darkness doubled I recall Lightning struck itself I was listening Listening to the rain I was hearing Hearing something else [Chorus] Life in the hive puckered up my night A kiss of death, the embrace of life Well, there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting [Verse 2] I 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" [Chorus] Life in the hive puckered up my night A kiss of death, the embrace of life Well, there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon Hesitating [Richard Lloyd's Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Well, the 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 again [Chorus] Life in the hive puckered up my night A kiss of death, the embrace of life Over there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon I ain't waitin', uh uh [Tom Verlaine's Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] I remember How the darkness doubled I recall Lightning struck itself I was listening Listening to the rain I was hearing Hearing something else
