An Ocean of Poison Ivy Lyrics by Dick Valentine

Coma Watching

2021

You said for me
To take whatever I need
So I'm taking it and remaking it
Into an ocean of poison ivy
You said to me
To face my fear 'til I bleed
So, I'm facing it and thus erasing it
Into a backdrop of gold and gray
Listen to him bitching as he learns
All that surgery was for nothing
And you'll find him itching from his burns
Because that perjury was really something
Man, we got a live one
Too bad we got throw him in the hole
You're dead to me
So I thought I could be
Free of your judgement and accusation
I built a house on the salty sea
Such an instinctive need
So I planted a seed
In your memories, you won't forget me
And I extinguish feast for a fee
Driving to a new life in Long Beach
From a Hollywood that no longer loves us
Steely dangles just beyond our reach
And we're breathing in the strangest fungus
Rolling on the blues well
Darling now I gaze the peril
When I go to see
You get dressed up and start sniff all the glue
I wanted to be you but you got messed up
And never seem to follow through with any of it
You can change geographies and topographies
But you'll always be standing in your own way
Reconology just for the heck of it
And write if off for the IRS
I say it's not a keeper by the smell of it
Stay focused on the mushy living under your dress
An ocean of poison ivy grows and keeps growing
Yes it does
