They call you ecstasy
|
nothing ever sticks to you
|
Not velcro, not scotch tape
|
not my arms dipped in glue
|
|
Not if I wrap myself in nylon
|
a piece of duct tape down my back
|
Love pierced the arrow with the twelve
|
and I can't get you back
|
|
Ah, ecstasy
|
ecstasy
|
Ah, ecstasy
|
|
Across the streets an old Ford, they took off its wheels
|
the engine is gone
|
In its seat sits a box
|
with a note that says, Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot
|
|
I see a child through a window with a bib
|
and I think of us and what we almost did
|
The Hudson rocketing with light
|
the ships pass the statue of liberty at night
|
|
They call it ecstasy, ah
|
ecstasy
|
Ecstasy, ah
|
ecstasy
|
|
Some men call me St. Ivory
|
some call me St. Maurice
|
I'm smooth as alabaster
|
with white veins runnin' through my cheeks
|
|
A big stud through my eyebrow
|
a scar on my arm that says, Domain
|
I put it over the tattoo
|
that contained your name
|
|
They called you ecstasy, ecstasy
|
ecstasy
|
They call you ecstasy, ecstasy
|
ecstasy
|
|
The moon passing through a cloud
|
a body facing up is floating towards a crowd
|
And I think of a time and what I couldn't do
|
I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't, I couldn't become you
|
|
They call you ecstasy, I can't hold you down
|
I can't hold you up
|
I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio
|
no engine, no hood
|
|
I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music
|
and I hope that they can play
|
But if we have to part
|
I'll have a new scar right over my heart
|
I'll call it ecstasy
|
|
Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy
|
ecstasy
|
Ecstasy, ecstasy
|
ecstasy
|
