about

it's good to feel responsible for another life

lyrics

got a little cactus from cvs
but they rolled all around in this fake shitty mess so I picked it all off until it was dressed in its own special clothes now it’s looking the best

and it’s still so perfect in that
little pot
and it makes me feel like I am less alone
and it makes me feel I am more alive
so thank you cactus friend for saving my life

pick him up and he hurts your hand
cactus friend
pick him up and he hurts your hand
cactus friend
but the sting of his spikes
is just his way of being nice
who needs real friends?

when you got a cactus friend?

he doesn’t talk but he says a lot
as he preaches his gospel from his tiny pot
“take care of yourself because if not
you will dry up from inside and be sealed in a box”

and I know that he is right
and the thought of him helps me sleep at night
and taking care of something that needs only light
and a little water
really saved my life

crazy cactus lady
