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 running 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
