Ecstasy |
| 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 |
