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

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
