Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Night Of The Lotus Eaters lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Sapped and stupid I lie upon the stones and I swoons<br>

The darlig little dandelions have done their thing and changed from suns into moons<br>

The dragons roam the shopping malls, I hear they're gonna eat our guts<br>

If I had the strength I might pick up my sword and make some attempt to resist<br>

<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

Grab your sap and your heaters<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

On the night of the lotus eaters<br>

<br>

Mmm, don't you love my baby<br>

Mmm, and don't you love my baby anymore<br>

<br>

They gilded my scales, they fish-bowled me and they toured me round the old aquariums<br>

They come in their hordes to tap at the glass, the philistines and barbarians<br>

I like floating here, it's nice, they've hung seaweed around my hips<br>

And I do the hula for the hungry ones and the lames all throw me tips<br>

<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

Grab your sap and your heaters<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

On the night of the lotus eaters<br>

<br>

Mmm, don't you love my baby<br>

Mmm, and don't you love my baby anymore<br>

<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

From our catastrophic leaders<br>

Get ready to shield yourself<br>

Grab your sap and your heaters<br>

<br>

On the night of the lotus eaters<br>

<br>

Now hit the streets!<br>

<br>

Now hit the streets!<br>

<BR><BR>
