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, 
Hesitating... 
I ain't waiting 

I spoke to a man 
down at the tracks. 
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." 

Well a Cadillac 
it pulled out of the graveyard. 
Pulled up to me 
all they said get in. 
Then the Cadillac 
it puttered back into the graveyard. 
And me, 
I got out again.
