Marquee Moon - Live in San Francisco 1978

This is called "Marquee Moon"

Remember how the darkness doubled
I recall, lightning struck itself
Listening, listening to the rain
Hearing, hearing something else

Puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand 'neath the Marquee Moon
Just waiting

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
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, well, I got out, 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
Listening, listening to the rain
Hearing, hearing something else
