Ecstasy

They call you ecstasy

Nothing ever sticks to you

Not velcro

Not scotch tape

Not my arms

Dipped in glueNot 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 backAh, ecstasy

Ecstasy

Ah, ecstasyAcross 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 nightThey call it ecstasy, ah

Ecstasy

Ecstasy, ah

EcstasySome men call me

St. Ivory

Some call me

St. Maurice

I'm smooth as alabaster

With white veins runnin' through my cheeksA big stud through my eyebrow

A scar on my arm

That says, "Domain"

I put it over the tattoo

That contained your nameThey called you ecstasy, ecstasy

Ecstasy

They call you ecstasy, ecstasy

EcstasyThe 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 youThey 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 hoodI'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 ecstasyOh, ecstasy, ecstasy

Ecstasy

Ecstasy, ecstasy

Ecstasy
