Lyrics

CACTI

[Verse 1]

Hi CACTI

I'm never coming back again, am I?

The way I feel now I'm all the way outside

So what if I'm high and dry

There's something in your water I didn't like

The way I feel now I'm all the way outside

And off again

[Chorus]

To dance on hostile sands

Me and the desert holding hands

A thorn in my side, the sun in my eyes

And off again

To dance on hostile sands

Me and the desert holding hands

A thorn in my side, the sun in my eyes

[Bridge]

Hooked spine sunlight thorns all right by me

(Alone we're the bare bones of truth now)

Dry dry widе eye heal your sympathy

(Thеre's nothing that I couldn't do now)

Yeah hooked spine sunlight thorns all right by me

(I want you, I want you, it's true now)

Yeah dry dry wide eye heal your sympathy

(Alone we're the bare bones of truth now)

(Oohh, oohh, oohh, oohh)

[Verse 2]

Hi CACTI

I'm never coming back again, am I?

The way I feel now I'm all the way outside

Yeah so what if I'm high and dry

There's something in your water I didn't like

The way I feel now I'm all the way outside

Yeah and off again

[Chorus]

To dance on hostile sands

Me and the desert holding hands

A thorn in my side, the sun in my eyes

And off again

To dance on hostile sands

Me and the desert holding hands

A thorn in my side, the sun in my eyes

(Oohh, oohh, oohh, oohh)

[Bridge]

Hooked spine sunlight thorns all right by me

(Alone we're the bare bones of truth now)

Dry dry wide eye heal your sympathy

(There's nothing that I couldn't do now)

Yeah hooked spine sunlight thorns all right by me

(I want you, I want you, it's true now)

Yeah dry dry wide eye heal your sympathy

(Alone we're the bare bones of truth now)
