Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Night Of The Lotus Eaters Lyrics

sapped and stupid
I lie upon the stones and I swoons

the darling little dandelions have done their thing
and changed from suns into moons

the dragons roam the shopping malls
I hear they're gonna eat our guts

if I had the strength I might pick up my sword
and make some attempt to resist

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
grab your sap and your heaters

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
on the night of the lotus eaters

mmmmmmmmmm don't you love my baby
mmmmmmmmmm and don't you love my baby anymore

they gilded my scales/ they fish-bowled me
and they toured me round the old aquariums

they come in their hordes to tap at the glass
the philistines and barbarians

I like floating here (it's nice)

they've hung seaweed round my hips
and I do the <<hula>> for the hungry ones

and the lames all throw me tips

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
grab your sap and your heaters

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
on the night of the lotus eaters

mmmmmmmmmmm dont you love my baby
mmmmmmmmmmm and don't you love my baby anymore

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
from our catastrophic leaders

get ready to shield yourself!!!!!!!!!
grab your sap and your heaters

on the night of the lotus eaters

now hit the streets!!!!!
Now HIT the streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
