Ecstasy Lyrics by Lou Reed

Ecstasy Lyrics

    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 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 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
