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.
(Verlaine) 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. Explain Request ×
