Lyrics
Sapped and stupid I lie upon the stones and I swoon The darling little dandelions have done their thing And they 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 heater Get ready to shield yourself On the night of the lotus eaters Mmmmm, don't you love my baby Mmmmm, 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 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 heater Get ready to shield yourself On the night of the lotus eaters Mmmmm, don't you love my 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 Night of the lotus eaters Now hit the streets Now hit the streets
