The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
