lyrics

CACTUS

She’s a cactus, a desert flower
She’s a Mexican weed with superpowers
Velvet petals, hooker red
& two inch thorns to kill ya dead

Pretty from a distance a miracle up close
She’ll make you sorry for confusing her with a red rose
You never saw a rose like that growing out of a rock
Cuz roses are for sale on every city block

She’s got thick skin so she can take the heat
Don’t’ go stomping around or she’ll get under your feet
She can take root in a barren place
But she ain’t from here, she’s from outerspace

She belongs on the big screen, she belongs in the pictures
I think I saw her in a western or maybe it was science fiction
She let me steal her beauty without feeling the thorns
She don’t need the audience like she needs to perform

She’s got thick skin so she can take the heat
Don’t’ go stomping around or she’ll get under your feet
She can take root in a barren place
But she ain’t from here, she’s from outerspace
