Lyrics

Кактус (Cactus)

[Текст песни «Кактус»]

[Куплет 1]

Почему я кактусы люблю больше, чем цветы?

Они не прячут ни надежды, ни мечты

Они снаружи все в иголках

Предупреждают — осторожно

Любовь без боли просто невозможна

[Предприпев]

Я пытаюсь разгадать

Я не знаю, кто ты — роза или кактус

Но, похоже, ты и сам не знаешь, кто ты

Роза или кактус

[Припев]

А розы что? Шипы под лепестками

Ошибиться так легко

Мы — кактусы, у каждого иголки

Только прикоснись рукой

А розы что? Шипы под лепестками

Ошибиться так легко

Мы — кактусы, у каждого иголки

Только прикоснись рукой

[Куплет 2]

Покажись мне — я в пустыне

Или в сказочном цвету?

Затаив дыхание, я жду

И бегу навстречу к свету

Есть вопросы без ответа

Рядом будь, любой пройду с тобой

[Предприпев]

Я пытаюсь разгадать

Я не знаю, кто ты — роза или кактус

Но, похоже, ты и сам не знаешь, кто ты

Роза или кактус

[Припев]

А розы что? Шипы под лепестками

Ошибиться так легко

Мы — кактусы, у каждого иголки

Только прикоснись рукой

[Проигрыш]

[Предприпев]

Я пытаюсь разгадать

Я не знаю, кто ты — роза или кактус

Но, похоже, ты и сам не знаешь, кто ты

Роза или кактус

[Припев]

А розы что? Шипы под лепестками

Ошибиться так легко

Мы — кактусы, у каждого иголки

Только прикоснись рукой

А розы что? Шипы под лепестками

Ошибиться так легко

Мы — кактусы, у каждого иголки

Только прикоснись рукой
