Lyrics

Maybe he and I

Are like a pair of suns that are captured

Maybe he and I are like a pair of Suns

That are captured

Eternally linked into chasing each other's spin

Eternally linked into chasing each other's spin

Bound by beliefs

That have become steel cords

Why the disharmony?

Let's re-sing my world

With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

I'd like to induct you into

The drink of the cactus practice

Cactus

Cactus?

Practice

Will you induct me into

The drink of the cactus practice?

Cactus

Cactus

Practice

Are you saying I'm

Reactive but I can work with it, doll-face

Every couple has their version of what they call the truth?

Every couple has their version of what they call the truth

Call all that lies

Beneath both stories

Back to my fire

Embrace what you find

With a harmonic defiance I'll face this

It's time to induct you into

The drink of the cactus practice

Cactus?

Cactus

Practice

I'd like to induct you into

The drink of the cactus practice

Cactus?

Cactus

Practice

Will you induct me into

The drink of the cactus practice?

Cactus? Cactus
