Dedicated to Poison Ivy from The Cramps. "The only song outside the telling of the story of the journey ... but my Imaginary Ivy stood in front of me, hands on hips, dressed in red cowboy boots, fishnet stockings & a black camisole and said "Put me on the album!" Well, who am I to refuse? Here's a little bit of rockabilly .....
lyrics
Ivy, you don’t look like any girl I know
Ivy, I’m ready for your Wild West show
Part Betty Page, part Warhol
Red cowboy boots, black camisole
Like a tattoo under my skin
Oh mama, I’m suck’d in
You better believe it, I’m possessed
I want you to play me like your Flame Job Gretsch
Strummin’ your fingers, making me ring
Driving me wild when you bend my string
Like a tattoo under my skin
Oh mama, I’m suck’d in
You always bring out the bad in me
Turn up and turn me on
Take me back to my used-to-be
One more time and I’m gone, gone, gone
You leave me stumblin’ like the Living Dead
Lost my mind, lost my head
Wrap around me, Poison Ivy, please
Let me get a taste of your disease
Like a tattoo under my skin
Oh mama, I’m suck’d in
