bullet brain and cactus head

split enz

send a message to the brain

two men climbing down opposite poles

the one with hair upon his face

sprouting like the weeds on his soul

the other is a law unto himself

his brain is like a lump of steel

and they'd love to break each other up

into tiny pieces

it's strange how they're always together

bullet brain and cactus head

always beating heads together

bullet brain and cactus head

watch them fall into the dirt

desperate to make a point

no trace of human doubt

confrontation they can never avoid

despising what they've both become

always looking for someone to blame

they think they're worlds apart

but they're exactly the same

always will be

it's strange how they're always together

bullet brain and cactus head

always beating heads together

bullet brain and cactus head

which one of you's the liar

bullet brain and cactus head

fanatic believers

obsessive achievers

yippees and yahoos

felons and fiends

preachers and leeches

offenders

defenders

all on their way down to the depth of extremes

pip squeaking passion to head-on collision

too set in your ways to give way or concede

oh my

oh my

oh my

what will become of the macho pretender and his enemy

and it's strange how they're always together

bullet brain and cactus head

always beating heads together

bullet brain and cactus head

which one of you's the liar

bullet brain and cactus head

rise up from the mire or wake up in a sea of red.
