Lyrics

You used to slide down the carpeted stairs
Or down the banister
You stuttered like a kaleidoscope
'Cause you knew too many words
You used to make gingerbread houses
We used to have taffy pulls
Take ecstasy
With me, baby
Take ecstasy
With me
You had a black snowmobile
We drove out under the northern lights
A vodka bottle gave you those raccoon eyes
We got beat up just for holding hands
Take ecstasy
With me, baby
Take ecstasy
With me
Take ecstasy
With me, baby
Take ecstasy
With me
Written by: Stephin Merritt
