about

Cactus

lyrics

Cactus

(Findlay)



With the whip of a comet's tail I went blazing leagues across the sand

Found myself a burning man with a far out look in his hand



With a sip of the cactus brew I was blooming, flaming crimson red

Dancing to some star seed band with tomorrow eyes in my head



God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face

But into the brew tripped on life's avenue

Now the world's a different place



Ba-ba-ba-ba, open your heart to the sun

Ba-ba-ba-ba, kick up the dust, come undone



A brush with a desert storm in a dust cloud of thinkers out of the box

Lovers and creators all just citizens of Black Rock

God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face

Someone said, 'Do you sing? Mariachi will swing'

Now the world's a peculiar place



Ba-ba-ba-ba, open your heart kiss the sun

Ba-ba-ba-ba, love in the dust come undone



To the laughing cuervo, listen ‘cos he knows that dawn begins to crack

When you shake the sand from your pockets ‘cos what's given you'll always get back



With the whip of a comet's tail I went blazing leagues across the sand

Found myself a burning man with a far out look in his hand



God, I was only looking to put the smile back on my face

But out of the blue, seems I jumped up the queue

Now the world's a different place



Ba-ba-ba-ba open your heart, kiss the sun

Ba-ba-ba-ba dance to your truth, come undone
