Listen to me from deep down inside

I'm the madness that just will not die

With no regrets of what I'll do to you

Before the night is over

You'll be crawling to... me!



Call me when you're weak

For me you'll lie and cheat

You'll never get away

With me me you're here to stay

Listen D.T., can't you see

You stay with me and you'll be free

Even as I soothe your soul

I tear you down and make you old

You just keep on coming back

To buy another nickel sack

Twelve o'clock time to greet

Agony and ecstasy

...Ecstasy!



I'm the cries from within

When the day begins

You know you'll follow me like sheep

This shepherd never sleeps

Tell me what's your price

Come skate on my ice

My blades they never rust

I'm asking you to trust



Listen now the time is right

And what a way to start the night

Spend your money endlessly

Another grand insanity

So, D.T., here is the plan

I'll make your brain a rubber band

Time to stretch it out and greet

Agony and ecstasy

...Ecstasy!...



Feel my whisper through your haze of pain

Hear the calling of the neon vein

See my name upon your soul's marquee

I am agony and ecstasy!



And just remember:

If you ever need me, I'm here
