lyrics
I remember how the darkness doubled
I recall lightning struck itself
I was listening to the rain
I was hearing something else
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”
Life in the hive puckered up my night
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
There I stand beneath the marquee moon
Just waiting
Well a Cadillac pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me, all they said was “get in”
Then the Cadillac, it puttered back into the graveyard
And me, well, I got out again
