I remember Ooo 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, A kiss of death, the embrace of life Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon, Just waiting
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'
Life in the hive puckered up my night, The kiss of death, the embrace of life Ooo 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', get in Then the Cadillac It puttered back into the graveyard Me, I got out again
Life 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 ah
I remember How the darkness doubled I recall Lightning struck itself
I was listening Listening to the rain I was hearing Hearing something else
