Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Lyrics

4. Night Of The Lotus Eaters

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 

Mmmmm, don't you love me baby 
Mmmmm, and don't you love me 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 the 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 

Mmmmm, don't you love me baby 
Mmmmm, and don't you love me 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
