Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: Night of the Lotus Eaters
 Lyrics for Album: Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! [2008]
 
 
 
 19871>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!
