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 cant 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
Some men call me st. ivory/Some call me st. maurice
Im 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
The moon passing through a cloud/A body facing up is floating towards a crowd
And I think of a time and what I couldnt do
I couldnt hold you close, I couldnt, I couldnt become you
They call you ecstasy, I cant hold you down
I cant hold you up
I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio
No engine, no hood
Im going to the cafe, I hope they've got music
And I hope that they can play
But if we have to part/Ill have a new scar right over my heart
Ill call it ecstasy / Lou Reed
