Testo Ecstasy - Lou Reed
Testo della canzone Ecstasy (Lou Reed), tratta dall'album Animal Serenade
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
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy, mmm
Ecstasy, 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
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, 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
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy
The moon passing through a cloud, a body facing up is floating towards a crowd
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 café, I hope they've got some music
And I hope those guys can play
If we got to part, I'll have a new scar right over my heart
I'll call it ecstasy
Oh, ecstasy
I know, I know
I'll call you ecstasy, ecstasy
Mmm-mmm, ecstasy
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
Ah, ah, ah
