Ecstasy Lyrics

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 a 12
And I can't get you back
horus
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
Across the streets an old Ford
They took off its wheels, the engine is gone
In it 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
Ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night
horus
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
Some men call me St. Ivory
Some call me St. Maurice
I'm smooth as alabaster
With white veins running through my cheeks
Big stud through my eyebrow
A scar on my arm that says, "Domain"
I put it over the tattoo
That contained your name
horus
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ah, 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 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 there
And I hope those guys can play
But if we have to part
I'll have a new scar right over my heart
I'll call it ecstasy
horus
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
