    Marquee Moon song by Television

    I remember
    Ooh, 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
    A kiss of death, the embrace of life
    Ooh, there I stand neath the Marquee Moon
    Just waiting
    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"
    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
    Well, the 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
    A kiss of death, the embrace of life
    Ooh, there I stand neath the Marquee Moon
    But I ain't waiting, 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
