Cactus Practice Lyrics

Maybe he and I
are like a pair of Suns that are captured
Maybe he and I are like a pair of Suns that are captured
Eternally linked into chasing each others' spin
Eternally linked into chasing each others' spin
Bound by beliefs that have become steel cords
Why the disharmony? Let's re-sing my world
With a harmonic defiance, I'll face this

I'd like to induct you into the drink of the
cactus practice, cactus
Cactus?
Practice
Will you induct me into the drink of the cactus
practice, cactus?
Cactus
Practice

Are you saying I'm
Reactive but I can work with it Doll-face
Every couple has their own version of what they
call the truth?
Every couple has their own version of what they call
the truth
Call all that lies beneath both stories
back to my fire
Embrace what you may find
With a harmonic defiance, I'll face this

It's time to induct you into the drink of the
cactus practice, cactus
Cactus?
Cactus
Practice
I'd like to induct you into the drink of the
cactus practice
Cactus?
Cactus
Practice
Will you induct me into the drink of the
cactus practice
Cactus? CACTUS

Cover art for Cactus Practice lyrics by Tori Amos

Ummmm, Peyote. For any Toriphiles who have missed her enthusiastic endorsement of hallucinogens as spiritual tools. You either are not a true Ear With Feet or you are in denial, which is understandable and understood.

The rest of the song is explainable and easily interpreted in context of the album, and this: she is talking about tripping on mescaline.

Meaning: this is where "god" really shows up. Just as it is in human history. The hallucinogens show up, and thus spirituality. here is true enlightenment. its perfect in context.
