Cactus Lyrics - David Bowie
Review The Song (3)
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?
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
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
D - A - V - I - D
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
So bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
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?
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
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
D - A - V - I - D
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
So bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Cactus! The Pixies. | Reviewer: Jet | 9/29/2007
Love this song. I love the lyrics, I love the music, I love the way David sings it. I love the way the Pixies sing it. He made a great choice, deciding to cover this song. And the riff (Which Cactus shares with Cracked Actor) is perfect. :P
Distinct sound fits lyrics of Obsession and passionate longing...Sexy | Reviewer: LilMsLadyPoet | 12/26/2006
This is one of my favorite songs off the Heathen CD. It is cool how the lyrics and music share a slightly manic theme and sound. You hear the torture and longing, the obsession, the ache to touch, smell, taste anything, something, in this case a yellow dress belonging to his lover.
Bowie did another excellent job on this one. Very unique and Bowie shines as someone who marries lyric and musical work together to make something better than the parts standing alone. True Synergy... the lyrics play off the music, and the music plays off the lyrics...together they leave a feeling of, and a glimpse into, a very private place. Anyone who has ever been obssessed with a lover will relate to this sexy song...if I were a guy this would be my anthem!
