Poison Ivy

She buried the bodies down by the orchard grove It's so pretty in spring You just gotta go The flowers grow tall When the sun goes low You gotta go She didn’t kill him just for fun No fun was had that day He had the looks that said okay It was just his mouth That did betray She was just an easy lay The years rolled by And time forgot All until that day The storm unearthed What was buried Down by orchard grove He pushed her awake Gave her the news Something about orchard grove They found dead people down there Wasn’t that the place You left in disgrace She laughed He had the looks that said okay It was just his mouth That did betray She killed him quick Burying him next to pear tree, Rick Sometimes late at night They come back to say hello Some scream indignity Others scream hell no It was like having good friends around the stove The bodies buried down by orchard grove.
