"The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be"

 

The cactus where your heart should be has lovely little flowers,

 

 so though it's always pricking me my ardor never sours.

 

 The cactus where your heart once was has power to rend and flay.

 

 I stick, because, I'm stuck, because I just can't tear myself away.

 

 

 

"The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be" is track #46 on the album 69 Love Songs. Written by Stephin Raymond Merritt.
