Lyrics

fast talk slow breath haven?t you heard?
one look one guess jump on the word
thick charm dry leaf stomach machine
stir it up stroke it down
what does he mean?

hey there cactusman
do you know the words?
can you drink like i can?
mister cactusman
swim a little closer
let me squeeze your hand

he?s calm he?s clean
though his needle might prick
he wants he gets
but only quick fix
his loose tooth passion
his buried abyss
could he feel the creature
crawling out from bliss?

hey there cactusman
do you know the words?
can you drink like i can?
mister cactusman
swim a little closer
let me squeeze your hand

and if he loves her would he say?
would he save the candle
or throw it away
she dreams of mud he dreams of sand
but they?re both thinking of cactusman
cactusman
cactusman

pretend he?s a chair
yeah that will work
yeah you?ll really get there
nineteen ferris wheels
leave that scab alone or
it will never heal

hey there cactusman
do you know the words?
can you drink like i can?
mister cactusman
swim a little closer
let me squeeze your hand
let me squeeze your hand
mister cactusman
mister cactusman
