Marquee Moon

I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing somethin' else

Life in the high pocket of my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
Do I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon?
Just waitin'

I spoke to a man down at the tracks
And I asked him how he don't go mad
He said, "Look here, junior, don't you be so happy
For heaven's sake, don't you be so sad"

Life in the high pocket of my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
Do I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon?
Hesitatin'

Well, the Cadillac, it puttered out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me, all it said's "Get in, get in"
Then the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard
Me, I got out again

Life in the high pocket of my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
Here I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon
I ain't waitin', uh-uh

I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening, listening to the rain
I was hearing, hearing something else
