From the recording Liberty Street
Lyrics
Poison Ivy
Have you heard the rumors going around
In this dreary little town
Like a disease born to spread
Like poison ivy
How does it feel to be you
You got nothing better to do
Have you got the itch to flip the switch
What have you got to lose?
You gave it all away
All those things you say
They’ll come back to you someday
Like poison ivy
You plant a seed and watch it grow
You didn’t mean to tell a soul
Sit back, relax, enjoy the show
What have you got to lose?
You gave it all away
All those things you say
They’ll come back to you someday
Like poison ivy
Are you out of your mind
You didn’t even know her
She was the one that got away
You talk about her
Like she was your lover
You don’t even know her name
But you’ve got a lot to say
About crazy Mary
It’s just another day
All those things you say
Don’t matter anyway
What have you got to lose?
You gave it all away
All those things you say
They’ll come back to you someday
Like poison ivy
