Mm
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
Ecstasy
Ecstasy oh 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 café
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
Ecstasy
Ah
Mm
Oh
