On Second Thought I'd Rather be a Cactus Lyrics

I was talking about reincarnation and the spirit that my body takes on

Would I be an eagle flying in the sky or would I come back as a swan

I just hope I don't come back as a cactus for in this life yeah I've been called a prick

And some might even say that it's fitting but I'd have to say they're lunatics

I think that I'll come back as a stallion I'd have a stable filled with straw or some hay

I wouldn't want to work in some battalion cause when it comes to war I'd rather play

I hope to have myself a beautiful rider I think a redhead I would prefer

Who'll mount me very proudly almost daily but with my luck she'd always wear her spurs

And she'd take me for a ride in the country and to places where she likes to shop

And if there's times that I don't feel up to it she'll sting me with her riding crop

She'll probably tease me with an apple or carrot and then whip me if I'm acting out

But what does she expect? I can't bear it with this big gag she shoved in my mouth

Oh I just don't know what the hell I was thinking as a horse I'd be set up to fail

I'd never give consent to use my horseshoes and where the hell you gonna stick that ponytail

On second thought I'd rather be a cactus I won't take much at all to maintain

And you don't even have to give me water I'd blend in very nice with the terrain
