lyrics

Don’t remember much about a party, they put us together t sleep
Smoked everyone’s cigarettes, never ate a decent meal
Couldn’t sleep on an empty stomach, late night kitchen raid
Should have brought it up earlier when I found the oatmeal cake

CHORUS
I wish I knew I was a cactus
I would never have spiked myself
I wish I knew I was a cactus
I would never have spiked myself

Couldn’t piss or shit, woke up with a fright
Millipedes touch antennae, passing in the night
Down on my hands and knees to study them on the ground
Should have brought it up earlier, never been so aroused

CHORUS

Asleep at last looking down on myself, a final goodbye
Passing up through the tunnel towards the light
Heard myself gasp for the air, could no longer neglect
Should have brought it up earlier, my inhaler was empty

Drove to hospital, kept me talking when you saw me fade
Through winding hills hospitable cubicle constipated
Must have heard me scream, I pushed through the pain
Should have brought it up earlier, I’m on the oxygen tank

Never talked to anybody, 3 days alone in my room
Went to pick up my belongings, they said you’d gone for good
Did you eat an oatmeal cake, made of hash concentrate
Should have brought it up earlier, now is it too late?

CHORUS
