Television - Marquee Moon lyrics

rate me

(Verlaine)<br />

<br />

I remember<br />

How the darkness doubled<br />

I recall<br />

Lightning struck itself.<br />

I was listening<br />

Listening to the rain<br />

I was hearing<br />

Hearing something else.<br />

<br />

Life in the hive puckered up my night,<br />

The kiss of death, the embrace of life.<br />

There I stand neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting,<br />

Hesitating...<br />

I ain't waiting<br />

<br />

I spoke to a man<br />

Down at the tracks.<br />

I asked him<br />

How he don't go mad.<br />

He said "Look here junior, don't you be so happy.<br />

And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad."<br />

<br />

Well a Cadillac<br />

It pulled out of the graveyard.<br />

Pulled up to me<br />

All they said get in.<br />

Then the Cadillac<br />

It puttered back into the graveyard.<br />

And me,<br />

I got out again.
