Cactus, practice
Bm        G
Everyday awake at 5:03

Greeting the hot sun of a gun
Bm           G
Condo in a succulent city
    A7
Wearing nobody's pants
    D            Bm
Just a sharp suit busy with the ants

F#sus4 F#m
Uh-hun

🎸 Verse 2:

D         F#m
Lying awake in a dreaming state
Bm          G
Riding on a holiday ride
     D      F#m
Getting sidetracked, turn on my back
Bm            G
Heavy with the gravity glide
     A7
And I'm nobody's boy
     D             Bm
Just your wet clothes hanging on the line

D     F#m
Red tail, look at her sail
Bm             G
Going for the money on the moon
     D      F#m
She goes high up, her beak is stuck
Bm             G
La-da-da-da listen to her tune

Now she's nobody's bird

Just a red grape hanging on the vine

  D      F#m
The white snow, look at her flow
Bm               G
Riding on the wind to meet thе roof
    D      F#m
It's a long way from heaven to hay
Bm              G
Falling on the hill to makе a poof
    A7
And on everybody's mind
       D          Bm
Is wrapped a blanket of another kind

F#sus4 F#m
Time

🎸 Verse 5:

D      F#m
Time, time, where's the time?
Bm              G
Have another glass of purple tea
    D         F#m
If it's okay
I'd like to stay
Bm              G
Even though you recently met me
     A7
Hell
I'm not even here
      D            Bm
I'm just a bubble floating in your beer
