Let my arms be a tree
Let my eyes be a bee
Let my hair be
A bed of roses
Let my lips kiss the ocean
Let my feet feed
An earthworm
Let my ears feed a beetle
Let my thights feed a wolf
Let my nose be a plum
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
About a bit of earthly pain
Let my heart be
An orchard of artichokes
Let my chest be
A bridge of Mesquite
Let my cock feed a crow
Let my stomach feed
A flock of geese
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
Are we not one and
The same
Let me celebrate my life
In the way that I want to
In a feast of all the pieces
That were meant to be used
Let my eyes be a bee
Let my hair be
A bed of roses
Let my lips kiss the ocean
Let my feet feed
An earthworm
Let my ears feed a beetle
Let my thights feed a wolf
Let my nose be a plum
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
About a bit of earthly pain
Let my heart be
An orchard of artichokes
Let my chest be
A bridge of Mesquite
Let my cock feed a crow
Let my stomach feed
A flock of geese
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
Are we not one and
The same
Let me celebrate my life
In the way that I want to
In a feast of all the pieces
That were meant to be used
Tito & Tarantula
Tito & Tarantula is an American chicano rock/blues rock band formed in Hollywood, California, in 1992 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Tito Larriva.
The band is best known for its songs "After Dark", "Back to the House That Love Built", "Strange Face of Love" and "Angry Cockroaches", as well as for its role in Robert Rodriguez's film From Dusk till Dawn as the band performing at the "Titty Twister" nightclub. "After Dark" was the track played during Salma Hayek's iconic exotic dance scene in that film, and later became the theme for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.

Much different than other Tito & the Tarantula songs I have heard.
What annoys me really is how unique artists are compared to other artists. Why compare? I don't get it.
I Agree completely! Very well stated!
What annoys me really is how unique artists are compared to other artists. Why compare? I don't get it.
It’s pretty much human nature to compare new experiences to previous ones, as a precursor to categorizing them. That mode of thinking and understanding is hard-wired in our brains. I think comparing artists or songs is just an extension of that. It takes conscious effort not to compare. Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking Fast and Slow is a fascinating read on this and related topics.
I'm getting a Bruce Cockburn meets Los Lobos kinda feeling. And I like it.
Maybe with a bit of SubDudes?
Does anyone have the lyrics to this? I swear he just said "Let my cock feed a crow". That mildly disturbs me.
The sweet cycle of life!
