Ecstasy

They call you e*****y

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 e*****y

e*****y

Ah e*****y

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 e*****y ah

e*****y

e*****y ah

e*****y

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 e*****y e*****y

e*****y

They call you e*****y e*****y

e*****y

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 e*****y 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 e*****y

Oh e*****y e*****y

e*****y

e*****y e*****y

e*****y
