Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds lyrics : "Night of the Lotus Eaters"

Sapped and stupid I lie upon the stones and I swoons
The darlig 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


Mmm, don't you love my baby
Mmm, 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 around 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


Mmm, don't you love my baby
Mmm, 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!
