TOM VERLAINE (Morristown, 13 de desembre de 1949 - 28 de gener de 2023)

                                    

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
