Marquee Moon Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

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, 

Hesitating 

I ain't waiting 

I spoke to a man 

Down at the tracks. 

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.' 

Well a Cadillac 

It pulled out of the graveyard. 

Pulled up to me 

All they said get in. 

Then the Cadillac 

It puttered back into the graveyard. 

And me, 

I got out again.
