Cactus Lyrics by David Bowie

Heathen (Deluxe Edition)

2002

[Verse 1]
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

[Verse 2]
I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Just run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

[Verse 3]
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine

[Interlude]
D-A-V-I-D

[Verse 4]
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

[Outro]
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
