Marquee Moon (Remastered LP Version) - Television

Written by：Tom 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

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

And for heaven's sake don't you be so sad

Life in the hive puckered up my night

The kiss of death the embrace of life

There I stand neath the marquee moon

Hesitating

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

Life in the hive puckered up my night

The kiss of death the embrace of life

There I stand neath the marquee moon

I ain't waiting

I remember

How the darkness doubled

I recall

Lightning struck itself

I was listening

Listening to the rain

I was hearing

Hearing something else
