Ecstacy (My Friend)

Sittin' in a cafe contemplatin' happiness
Waitin' for the penny to drop
Searchin' for a way to truly actualize my bliss
Lookin' out for a clue from God

Them to my surprise the answer came to my cries
A lady came a-walkin' past
It was like the sun was shinin' out from her eyes
And I was caught in the blast

And in that moment my heart jumped to the sky
Like a flame burstin' from my chest
I didn't blink but right then she was gone
And so was my breath

O-oh, ecstacy my friend
O-oh, ecstacy you send
I-I, see your energy
You-oo, know how to be

Later I saw her hangin' round with some friends
I could but sit and stare
I didn't know my heart was so paralyzed
But her joy made it all so clear

Finally I knew what I had to do
I went home and cried
Had to get over the pain I went through
Last time my love died

I'da thought that was enough for one day
But it was like an informational wave
Couldn't escape the empathical consequence
I no longer knew how to behave

O-oh, ecstacy my friend
O-oh, ecstacy you send
I-I, feel your energy
You-oo, show me how to be

Finally my sorrow lost significance
A euphoric truth was in my grasp
Beckoned on by the mystery of happiness
I set to the discovery task

The first thing that blew my mind open
Was the simplicity of bliss itself
We create our joy right now my friends
And it's foolish believin' anythin' else

Months and years of emotional extravagence
The highest highs to the lowest of lows
This I can say without reservation
Joy is reaped instantly _as_ we sow

O-oh, ecstacy my friend
O-oh, ecstacy you send
I-I, like your energy
Your-or, joy is the key

Who woulda thought that smiles were unavoidable
And laughter follows in there wake
All you need to do is understand
These words make no mistake

And we can live without dissappointment
I'm sure you'll agree
We just leave aside expectation
And enjoy the fun of you and me

Can you imagine the futer that is possible
In this gleeful quest for delight?
Did you know that the pleasures of our heart
Are free to give every day and night?

O-oh, ecstacy my friend
O-oh, ecstacy you send
I-I, love your energy
You-oove, already set me free

O-oh, ecstacy my friend
O-oh, ecstacy you send
I-I, feel your energy
It's, sublime serenity...
