The flower said i wish i was a tree
The tree said i wish i could be
A different kind of tree
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that is a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it
And the flower would be it's offering
To the desert so dry and lonely
And the desert so dry and lonely
So that all the animals apreaciate the effort
The rattle snake said "i wish i had hands
So i could hug you like a man"
And the cactus said "well don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
I'm sure a hug would be nice
But hug my flower with your eyes"
The flower said i wish i was a tree
The tree said i wish i could be
A different kind of tree
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea
And in the sea we have a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it

I am in love with a monster
a forever enticing fiend
who doesn't care
who doesn't need

They captured my heart
and swallowed the key
they covered my eyes
so i can not see

I can't see the truth
I can't see that she's wrong
I know what has to be done
I just need to be strong

I need to let go
my grip must come loose
so i don't end up hanging
from an emotional noose
