Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I remember

Ooh, how the darkness doubled

I recall

Lightning struck itself

[Verse 2]

I was listening

Listening to the rain

I was hearing

Hearing something else

[Chorus]

Life in the hive puckered up my night

A kiss of death, the embrace of life

Ooh, there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon

Just waiting

[Verse 3]

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"

[Chorus]

Life in the hive puckered up my night

The kiss of death, the embrace of life

Ooh, there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon

Hesitating

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

Life in the hive puckered up my night

A kiss of death, the embrace of life

Ooh, there I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon

I ain't waiting uh-uh

[Verse 5]

I remember

How the darkness doubled

I recall

Lightning struck itself

[Verse 6]

I was listening

Listening to the rain

I was hearing

Hearing something else
