Night Of The Lotus Eaters Lyrics - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Sapped and stupid 

I lie upon the stones and I swoons 

Darling little dandelions, done their thing 

They've 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 

Hmm, don't you love my baby? 

Hmm, 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 

With 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 

Hmm, don't you love my baby? 

Hmm, 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 

On the night of the lotus eaters 

And now hit the streets 

Now hit the streets
