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 12
And I can't get you back
O ecstasy, ecstacy
O ecstacy
Across the street is 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, o, ecstasy
ecstasy, o 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 cant 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
O ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy
