She was the coldest girl you ever saw here
_____
A disgusted face beneath a sea of freckles that bloom from April
_____
I swear you saw her go by and wander through Madrid
_____
He was always bouncing around and still drowned
_____
In the puddles of Plaza Dos de Mayo while March drizzled
_____
I swear I didn't see him coming
And run from this powder keg
_____
Both looking back
They bumped into each other in the maybe
_____
She wasn't so bad, nor he that dumb
_____
Just the cactus woman and the balloon man
_____
And sometimes I don't get it when you call me love
_____
If I want, if I have, if you give or I give back
_____
This is just a bad example, a loose recreation
_____
When two opposite poles feel more than just attraction
_____
And sometimes fate is so ironic
_____
That people who wouldn't stick even with glue smash the cliché
_____
A Platonic love, sorry, Aristotelian
_____
Eating at the same table as this comic duo
_____
He already warned her about his unstable streak
_____
Of being first to deflate and tie down his strings
_____
She answered that if he ever ran out of air
_____
He should try the crazies; they don't pin you down
_____
She replied she was impregnable
_____
Hurting anyone who tried to get close
_____
He told her there's nothing to worry about
_____
Since he didn't want to be near but inside, rooted
_____
If she was the thorn, no, no
_____
He'd yank it out, no, no
_____
And maybe he'd be the filled balloon that yanks her feet from the pot
_____
Everybody, friends of all kinds, tried to warn them
_____
That she wasn't so bad, nor he that dumb
_____
Just the cactus woman and the balloon man
_____
And sometimes I don't get it when you call me love
_____
If I want, if I have, if you give or I give back
_____
This is just a bad example, a loose recreation
_____
When two opposite poles feel more than just attraction
_____
They go, out of sight, in the middle of the sway
_____
They go, unseen, they left alone
_____
They go, unseen, outside the hurricane
There they go, she and he
_____
They go, unseen, that train already left
_____
They go, unseen, they left alone
_____
I mean the cactus woman and the balloon man
_____
They go, out of sight, in the middle of the sway
_____
They go, unseen, they left alone
_____
They go, unseen, outside the hurricane
There they go, she and he
_____
They go, unseen, that train already left
_____
They go, unseen, they left alone
_____
I mean the cactus woman and the balloon man
