Marquee Moon

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
