(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,
|
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.
