LOU REED - Ecstasy lyrics

rate me

They call you ecstasy<br>Nothing ever sticks to you<br>Not velcro, not scotch tape<br>Not my arms dipped in glue<br><br>Not if I wrap myself in nylon<br>A piece of duct tape down my back<br>Love pierced the arrow with the twelve<br>And I can't get you back<br><br>Ah, ecstasy<br>Ecstasy<br>Ah, ecstasy<br><br>Across the streets an old ford, they took off it's wheels<br>The engine is gone<br>In it's seat sits a box<br>With a note that says, goodbye charlie, thanks a lot<br><br>I see a child through a window with a bib<br>And I think of us and what we almost did<br>The hudson rocketing with light<br>The ships pass the statue of liberty at night<br><br>They call it ecstasy, ah<br>Ecstasy<br>Ecstasy, ah<br>Ecstasy<br><br>Some men call me st. ivory<br>Some call me st. maurice<br>I'm smooth as alabaster<br>With white veins runnin' through my cheeks<br><br>A big stud through my eyebrow<br>A scar on my arm that says, domain<br>I put it over the tattoo<br>That contained your name<br><br>They called you ecstasy, ecstasy<br>Ecstasy<br>They call you ecstasy, ecstasy<br>Ecstasy<br><br>The moon passing through a cloud<br>A body facing up is floating towards a crowd<br>And I think of a time and what I couldn't do<br>I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't, I couldn't become you<br><br>They call you ecstasy, I can't hold you down<br>I can't hold you up<br>I feel like that car that I saw today, no radio<br>No engine, no hood<br><br>I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music<br>And I hope that they can play<br>But if we have to part<br>I'll have a new scar right over my heart<br>I'll call it ecstasy<br><br>Oh, ecstasy, ecstasy<br>Ecstasy<br>Ecstasy, ecstasy<br>Ecstasy
