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.
