About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse] The tactful cactus by your window Surveys the prairie of your room The mobile spins to its collision Clara puts her head between her paws They've opened shops down Westside Will all the cacti find a home But the key to the city Is in the sun that pins the branches to the sky
