Poison Ivy
Lyrics by:
Oksana Maradyn
Can’t you see me awake in my sleep trying not to disturb you
Can’t you feel me reaching for you with a hand full of poison ivy
Can you hold it; help me to put it down
Can you throw it right down on the ground
Can you solve this desire to keep it ’round…this poison ivy
Wake up and smell that I made the coffee
Jump up, see, I wrote your name in the sand
All messy with my left hand
Your legs are long you can tiptoe over
My will is strong; all I need is your hand
I’ll find a new place to stand
Can’t stand this poison ivy
It’s all around and on me
Grew so tall that I can’t see
Which way is out
This house of cards is closed for business
But its got a big yard I’m sure we’ll find a way in
All messy without a plan
Now come on let’s play with my new shredder
Then let’s ditch it on the way to our island
Can you see our flag flying
Can’t stand this poison ivy
It’s all around and on me
Grew so tall that I can’t see
Which way is out
Look into my eyes
Touch your hand to my face
And then kiss that spot
That your finger just traced
And then take those arms and just hold me
And hold me and hold me and hold me cause
Can’t stand this poison ivy
It’s all around and on me
Grew so tall that I can’t see
Which way is out
I only need a way out
So wake up and smell that I made the coffee
